Antonina C was to me the tuna industry. When this seiner was sold the industry was sadly gone. I remember when it was sold it was docked at 10th avenue getting ready to leave, I believe for Australia . A once great industry gone. sdtunaboats@cox.net

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. sdtunaboats@cox.net

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 ? sdtunaboats@cox.net

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. sdtunaboats@cox.net
