Some seiners I just don’t have a lot of photos of , Pan Pacific is one of those built by Campbells shipyard in San Diego . The Pan Pacific was slightly different only the American Queen also had the raised pilot house I liked the look but it must not ave been great once they added the helicopter. sdtunaboats@cox.net

One of Manuel Silva’s Fleet. The Tradition was built in 1980 by Martinac , later was sent to Western Pacific and sold. Changed name to Cape Elizabeth and unfortunulty I believe she caught fire and  sank a few years ago. Share your photos with us at sdtunaboats@cox.net
