Joe Madruga, i had these pictures sent in by a follower Richard and wanted me to post . The first picture speaks for itself if you knew Mr Madruga. the second he said was taken at Campbells before sea trials… Great man who is missed.. Thanks Richard . sdtunaboats@cox.net

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

Proud Heritage, my favorite boat in the fleet. Its where it all started for me. Dad spent many years here. Working on the net at what appears to be G street. One of our many followers is looking for a photo of the South Coast back in the late 60’s if anybody could find one I’m sure he would appreciate… sdtunaboats@cox.net
