First Photo!

Well, they say that everything has a beginning. For me, It was this photo I took of the Dominator, in San Pedro while unloading. At the time, I was aboard the Proud Heritage and it was around 1975-76. Who would have thought I would eventually end up with over 1,000 photos of the fleet? Hobbies start at the weirdest time!!!
Jeanette Diana, Jeanette
Joe Finette owner. The Jeanette Diana was a high liner one of the top boats in the fleet ,for years .Unfortunalty the boat sank unexpectly in the western pacific , thank the good lord everybody was rescued . Jeanette is now Joes boat, it is the old Elizabeth CJ .My late cousin simply put it this way about Mr. Finette , he is the “nicest man you will ever meet”
Enough said…
Constitution…
The Constitution (later known as the Mariner) was another great boat of its time. At the helm was a great skipper and man, Joe Daluz. Joe was a top skipper for many years and had a great passion for it. Not many men could say they caught more fish than Joe. The Constitution was where his heart was, and I’m proud to call him my friend.
Gina Anne
Back in the good old days, Gina Anne, was tied up at the embarcadero. In it’s day, the Gina Anne was probably the fastest boat in the fleet due to twin engines. Later, it was named the Yolanda Z.
