-When the [[Simpson family]] was visiting Barnacle Bay, they saw Jack on The Rotting Pelican. [[Marge]] asked him what had happened to the town. Jack explained that the town used to fish up [[Yum Yum Fish]], but they couldn't catch them anymore. [[Lisa]] suggested that was because they were overfished.

-After Homer accidentally burned down the Barnacle Bay marina with fireworks, he was made to work aboard The Rotting Pelican as a fisherman. After being introduced to the crew, the ship set sail and fished up their first haul. Most of the haul was trash, but they also caught some [[Slarg Fish]], which tasted horrible. When it came to be Homer's turn to cook for the crew, he thought it was [[Opposite Day]] so he beer-battered the hooks and baited the shrimp for the meal instead. When the crew went to check the hooks, the Yum Yum Fish had started biting and the crew started fishing them up.

-'''The Rotting Pelican''' is a boat that [[Homer]] is forced to become a member of the crew on. Its main priority is to search for [[Yum Yum Fish]].
+'''The Rotting Pelican''' was a fishing vessel owned by {{ap|Jack|The Wife Aquatic}} of [[Barnacle Bay]].
 == History ==
-Residents of "[[Barnacle Bay]]", an Island in New England, the crew mainly fished for Yum Yum Fish, but had fallen on hard times after overfishing drove all the Yum Yums away. After accidentally burning down the boardwalk, Homer is forced to join the crew in order to pay off his debts. The crew goes searching for Yum Yum Fish, with little luck. However, after Homer accidentally beer battered the fishing hooks, they caught many Yum Yum fish. Suddenly a "Perfect Storm" started and the crew found itself trapped in the middle of the ocean. It was decided that they would abandon ship, but [[Bart]] had stowed away in the life raft compartment, and threw away the raft. The Rotting Pelican sank and the crew was stuck in the middle of the storm, but were saved by a Japanese Fishing boat.
