My good Friend Jim Zeigler sent in this picture to share from his collection. He said the photo was dated back to 1963 , all I can say is its awesome . Thanks Jim .Please share your photos at sdtunaboats@cox.net

I love this photo and this seiner, The Sea Quest out to Sea around 1977. My Father took this photo while aboard the Proud Heritage, both seiners were owned by Manuel Silva and were a familiar site around  San Diego Bay. sdtunaboats@cox.net

I know I have posted this postcard a few times but its one of my favorites. I think I bought this postcard when I was in Elementary school . The one and only Mermaid owned by Frank Correia . Tons of memories of this seiner.  sdtunaboats@cox.net

 

 

 

 

 I took this photo of the Venturous in 1988 on a Sea Trial off of Point Loma from the Helicopter, it feels like it was yesterday.  Unfortunately  the Venturous sank a few years later off the Coast of Panama . sdtunaboats@cox.net

Another one of my photos I took down at 10th Ave Terminal. The Azteca 2 was a very familiar seiner in San Diego in the 80s. The Azteca 2  is still fishing today in Mexico , share your photos at sdtunaboats@cox.net

One of my photos I took back in 1986 . Two brand new Campbell’s seiners tied up at 10th Avenue Terminal. These seiners were both for The Korean  Fleet and I’m not sure if they are still fishing today. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Just a sensational photo of the seiner Tunamar built at Campbells Shipyard in 1981. This seiner is probably better known under its current name the Tiuna . Another one of my photos from my Campbells Collection .sdtunaboats@cox.net
