Beautiful Sunset of the El Ray, hope they were traveling home, at least it appears to be high ball time. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Nice shot of the Bold Fleet letting go. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Stacie Antonette, a nice shot of a nice looking seiner. Stacie docked at B street in San Diego Bay. I would bet a few tourist would love to see that today . Who wouldn’t? sdtunaboats@cox.net

Old time seiner looks to be taking net off boat at Embarcadero to start working on net. Old Saratoga in back ground . Sdtunaboats@cox.net

I actually cut this picture out of a magazine when i was about 10, like i said you never know when hobby’s begin. King Oscar in a set great boat that caught lots of fish… sdtunaboats@cox.net

Nice black and white of the Embarcadro. Just take a look at that net and skiff, ring stripper boy how things have changed . how did they catch fish back then . sdtunaboats@cox.net

What a shot of the Bold Adventuress,. Thanks to Steve for photo. sdtunaboats@cox.net

This one is kind of different. It shows Campbell’s shipyard in some of its busy days. Top Wave with basically its hull being tugged out. And Conquest tied up. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Personally i couldn’t talk about the tuna industry without putting in a photo of the Mermaid. Owner Frank Correia. With the Mermaid across the bridge this boat was a classic. Add Tio Leo and the Pisces and you had one hell of a fishing Family. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Great shot of the Capt Joe Jorge, Thanks to Tom Walsh for photo.. sdtunaboats@cox.net
