Another one of my favorite photos, I took this in 6th grade at B street Pier. The seiner Aquarius was very special to my family as we had a few family members on the boat over the years, including my Father as a Navigator for a few years .sdtunaboats@cox.net
Via Mistral…
Our good friend Kevin Madruga sends in this photo of the Via Mistral , I believe this was the second to the last seiner built by Campbells Shipyard back in 1991. Thank You as always Kevin. sdtunaboats@cox.net
Campbells Shipyard…
This will always be one of my favorite photos that I have ever taken , I guess it shouldn’t bother me when I see it on other sites so often . Campbells industry back in its working days, why is this one of my favorite photos ? Simply because The Uncle Louie is in the photo what a great seiner it was .sdtunaboats@cox.net
Mary Lucille….
My Uncle Rollie didn’t let his heartbreak from the sinking of the Mary Lucille get the best of him. He soon bought the City Of Lisbon and renamed it the Mary Lucille and he was back in action. sdtunaboats@cox.net
Unfortunate Day in the Family…
My family has had many fishermen in it over the years but this was the worse day for our family, my uncles boat sinking at the Local Banks. This Photo is of the Mary Lucille going down with my Uncle and his two sons aboard. Everyone on board was rescued and returned to San Diego aboard the JM Martinac . The Mary Lucille was launched The Lois Seaver in 1958 . Share your stories and photos at sdtunaboats@cox.net
