Seiner Gold Coast , launched Capt Joe Medina by Campbells  in February 1973. Share your photos we always need help. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Seiner Taurus Tuna, Im guessing this is Panama originally launched the Pan Pacific by Campbells shipyard in December 1972. Still looks great in this photo obviously had a stretch job done to her I’m guessing it probably holds 1400 or more tons now . sdtunaboats@cox.net

Just a typical day on the Embarcadero in the 70s. How I miss those days. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Old school photo the Valiant . and thats where it stops with me.  Anyone want to chime in with info on this old beauty ? Share your thoughts and memories with us at sdtunaboats@cox.net

Another xmas tree this one aboard the Cheryl Marie , Outside Costa Rica sacking up. Im told we have Kevin Madruga , Scott Porter, Fabian Daluz and deck boss Benny Stornilio in this photo . Thank you to Kevin Madruga for sending in this photo.. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Someone sent this one to me a while back. Great shot from above of the Finger Piers and Zolezzi fuel dock with the rigs stacked up . Whats great about this shot is the mixed rigged some older and newer ones, I’m guessing thats  the Jeanine at the fuel dock so since she was launched in 1974 I’m guessing this photo is taken around 1975-76 great times . Please share your photos with us . sdtunaboats@cox.net

Lets go old school. Not sure the year of this photo, Mary S docked at the Finger Piers . I know one thing things seemed better back in those days.  sdtunaboats@cox.net
