Marco Polo, Great Martinac seiner built in 1971. Loved the Crows nest on all these Martinacs. But most of all i loved The name Marco polo, great name. Later changed name to Scorpio 1 , send in your pictures to [email protected]

Polaris, Again one of my favorite boats. Maybe because my father was skipper shortly on her, But i always loved the name. Later was renamed Gina Marie which i basically have no pictures of the boat with that name. Anyone out there want to help with that one. Send your pictures to [email protected]

Mary Elizabeth built at San Diego Marine i believe in 71 , Later changed name to Rose Ann Marie I’m thinking around 78. Nice seiners good working boats. Please send in your request or your pictures to [email protected]

Another one of my fathers collection. Im guessing this was late 70s and a great picture. He took while aboard the Proud Heritage, all the rigs turning to get into position personally love the fact that you have a Huge Martinac most likely the Tifaimoana out racing a Westgate seiner. But the little rig wasn’t giving in love it. Send your pictures to [email protected]

This one from one of our great loyal followers.  Not sure exactly where photo was taken  Cape Finisterre unloading. This seiner was the Tifaimoana in its San Diego days. I personally don’t like the wrap around the crows nest. But just one mans opinion . Send in your pictures to [email protected]
