Probably my favorite designed seiner. Royal Pacific built by Martinac in 1973 and still going under the new name Koorale. Share your photos with us at sdtunaboats@cox.net

Aquarius docked at B street back in the days. Not a great photo but one of my old pictures , something about certain boats meant more then others. Aquarius was one of those boats I felt like I always had a family member aboard this seiner. Seriously I could use help with photos please share at sdtunaboats@cox.net

One of my first photos and I remember it like it was yesterday. Pops coming home at sunrise on what he described as not one of his best trips thats why we snuck in at sunrise so no-one would see us  LOL. Love that seiner felt like I new every inch of that boat. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Seiner Raffaello somewhere in a Western Pacific Port. I love this photo of it because it was prior to the changed crows nest. Raffaello was built by Martinac in 1972. Photo courtesy Steve Lopresti share your pictures with us at sdtunaboats@cox.net

Well I can’t tell you a thing about this seiner. But damn its a rig and I’m sure it caught fish. This photo I believe was taken in early 80s. Anyone have anything on this seiner ? sdtunaboats@cox.net

Seiner Caribe, to be honest Ed Gann had a few seiners named Caribe. This was definitely one of the last ones,  if not the last one. Im thinking this photo was taken in  Panama . Mr Ganns was a huge part of the tuna industry in San Diego. sdtunaboats@cox.net
