Betty C , Sinks..

We lost another seiner. The Tuna Boat Betty C caught fire and sank . This seiner was originally named the South Pacific when she was in San Diego. The Betty C , and its 21 member crew went into the skiff before being rescued by the Cape Ferrat . The crew was being transported to Samoa. Thank God no injuries were reported . Sdtunaboats@cox.net

El Rifle…

El Rifle , I believe this was one of the last of it’s design. Later, Campbell’s slightly changed the look. And then like the Tuna Industry it just went away….. sdtunaboats@cox.net
