Classic shot of the Pacific Queen at the Embarcadero.. one of the first built Martinac tuna seiners.. [email protected]

Claire P. , another beautiful looking Martinac Built Tuna Seiner. I know it ended up fishing in Western Pacific in the early 80’s , not sure what happened after that. [email protected]

Now this is a classic, Shelter island boat launch and the Jeanette Diana going out of the bay. If you grew up in San Diego you definitely launched a boat at that boat launch. And there was probably a Tuna Boat going out of the Bay. [email protected]
