Victoria docked at the Embacadero , 50 years ago 1967. Wow has a lot changed , i know one thing the Waterfront looked better back in the day with the seiners and the nets on the dock. Send in your pictures to [email protected]

Conquistador finishing up a set in Western Pacific in early 80s. Built by Campbell’s shipyard in San Diego in 1971. I believe it is now the Daniella and still fishing. huge thanks to John Gibson for providing this photo. Send in your pictures to [email protected]

Great Shot of the Sea Hawk in San Diego Bay. This is definitely early on later she was painted blue and spent many years in Samoa. Built by Campbells Shipyard in I’m thinking in 1976 . Please share your pictures send them to [email protected]

Great shot of a classic Martinac Seiner the Royal Pacific. Built in 1973 this seiner is still at it in Samoa now named the Koorale. Loved this design ,send in your pictures to [email protected]

Great shot sent in by one of our loyal followers. Pacific  Princess , Sea Hawk and MJ Souza tied up in Samoa . Loved all three of these seiners in San Diego. Wish the Pacific Princess still looked liked this , but thats why i run this page to remember the good old days. Im guessing this is early to mid 80s. Send in your pictures to [email protected]

Another Samoa shot, I’m guessing mid 80s . Lone Wolf and Royal Pacific. Really one of just a few shots i have of the Royal Pacific, currently the Koorale . Come on people i know you have pictures share them please. [email protected]

One of my shots i took, Claudia B and Aquarius at G street . Two great Martinac seiners . Claudia B was originally the Trinidad . I believe both seiners were built in 1971.  Wonderful seiners big part of San Diego’s Tuna fleet.  Send in your photos to [email protected]

One of my favorite seiners, Bold Contender definitely top 5 if not my favorite. Really would love some photos of this rig, I’ve had guys email and say they have pictures of this seiner but they never send them in. I even had one guy say I’m looking at a picture with this boat and a chopper which is totally a rare picture but still nothing. Would love some help guys , please send your pictures in to [email protected] .

Wonderful seiner Odette Therese , in this photo its docked at Broadway Pier . Built by Martinac in 1980. Please send your pictures in. We really need your help if i received just one photo from everyone over the years that said they had photos i wouldn’t have to keep asking. So come on just send them in [email protected]

This may not be the greatest picture but i dare someone to come up with a better shot of the classic Westgate seiner Carol S. To think those seiners were at one time the top dogs , and a huge part of this fleet. I would ask for you to send in your pictures but what the hell. i know you won’t. LOL [email protected]
