San Diego was home to the fleet, But most fisherman at some point found there way to Puerto Rico. In this picture City of Lisbon and Cape San Vincent & Bold Venture among others. Again i could use some pictures of the fleet please send them in if you have anything. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Uncle Louie and brothers Andy &; Joe , Powerful Family in the Tuna Industry If you had anything to do with the Fleet you knew who Uncle Louie was. Did i say he had the best looking boats in the fleet , nothing beat the A.C. it was a yacht. sdtunaboats@cox.net
