Samoa. – San Diego Tuna Boats

Got the rigs tied up three deep in Samoa. Just like San Diego those days are gone… [email protected]

That old workhorse white Martinac of mine is looking pretty haggard . . . . I'd have to say it's almost time to go to NZ for a Face-Lift or her & the skiff !

I must have been "killing time" again in the speedboat sight-seeing with my trusty camera!

Had fun the other day Jimmy in PL & we'll do it again. cw

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi, my name is Jimmy, I’m second generation Portuguese on my Dad’s side and first generation on my Mom’s. I’ve always had a passion for Tuna Boats and their colorful history and have, over the years, amassed a large library of photos and many stories to go with them. In the hopes of keeping some of this history alive — and perhaps passing this tradition on to my son — I’ve created this site to share my memories and photos in honor of my Portuguese heritage and for the men that made their living at sea and also to those who lost their lives at sea, may they rest in peace. I hope you enjoy my photos and ramblings. Please feel welcome to share your thoughts and pictures too, I’ll be happy to post them for you. Many of the pictures you’ll see have been donated by other Portuguese and Italian friends/families and many are from my own collection, but all are treasured. Please enjoy…
