The Seiner JM Martinac working on its net at Broadway Pier. By the look at the old red and white cork line I’m guessing this  was in the late 60’s ..  Share your photos with us at [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats

The seiner Lucky Strike is getting ready to drop the speed boats. Trust me ,about right now there’s a lot going through your mind when your being lowered into the water  and the first thing is to get released and away from the seiner. This process looks simple but could in fact be extremely dangerous especially in rough weather.

The Tuna Seiner Calypso was being built at San Diego Marine in 1972.

 Looks like some net work going on at 10th avenue terminal. The Southern Pacific working on the cork line with the Royal Pacific in the background. Im guessing this is around the mid 1970s. Share your pictures with us at [email protected] and on Twitter @sdtunaboats
