Evidence and limits
This is an episode-qualified record. The article does not supply a full civil name, dates, family identity, or later fishing history. It is kept separate from the 1965 Beaver Beacon record for James “Shing” Martinson because the held sources do not establish that the different surname forms refer to the same person.
