One of my favorite looking seiners. Sea Treasure great name also. I would love some pictures of this rig if anyone has a few. Built at Martinac in 1973. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Legacy, one of newer style Martinac’s built. Launched in 1982. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Jeannine , One of the most recognizable seiners in San Diego. Usually backed in  stern first at the fuel dock when she was home. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Royal Pacific, one of the last American boats still going. Now the Koorale built in 1973 by Martinac Shipyard.  sdtunaboats@cox.net

Nice shot of a tuna seiner bow.  Unfortunately  this wasn’t a good time for the Tiuna..sdtunaboats@cox.net

Grenadier, another Campbell’s built seiner. I believe its still operating under foreign flag. Possibly Colombia flag.  sdtunaboats@cox.net
