This site is dedicated to my father, James Lira, the man who passed on his passion for fishing to me. He and all the men that spent their lives on the ocean will never be forgotten.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi, my name is Jimmy, I’m second generation Portuguese on my Dad’s side and first generation on my Mom’s. I’ve always had a passion for Tuna Boats and their colorful history and have, over the years, amassed a large library of photos and many stories to go with them. In the hopes of keeping some of this history alive — and perhaps passing this tradition on to my son — I’ve created this site to share my memories and photos in honor of my Portuguese heritage and for the men that made their living at sea and also to those who lost their lives at sea, may they rest in peace. I hope you enjoy my photos and ramblings. Please feel welcome to share your thoughts and pictures too, I’ll be happy to post them for you. Many of the pictures you’ll see have been donated by other Portuguese and Italian friends/families and many are from my own collection, but all are treasured. Please enjoy…
