One of my newspaper articles from the late 70s. Loved seeing the seiners docked at the Embarcadero , great times share your memories at [email protected]

Seiner Tiuna , technically not a American seiner but it was built here at Campbells shipyard launched in 1981 under the name Tunamar she’s still active fishing in the Eastern Pacific. [email protected]

This photo of the Caribe I’m thinking is in Panama. Also going to say it was one of Ganns seiners since he loved the name Caribe although I really can’t recognize the style seiner ? Anyone know anything about this photo ? [email protected]

One of my favorite shots, Embarcadero with the seiners tied up. Conquest and Montana with Sea Encounter and Mermaid in the far back. Great Days great memories. [email protected]

Built in 1974 by Campbells shipyard in san Diego. Simply put this was one of the Top Dogs in the fleet, always made short trips and a lot of them. Unfortunulty she sank way to early. [email protected]
