Simply put, you cant talk about tuna boats in San Diego without putting the Connie Jean in the talk. I believe it was built in 1966.  sdtunaboats@cox.net

Capt Joe Medina from the looks of the picture pulling into either Broadway Pier or B street. I think this Tuna Boat was later named the Gold Coast in the Western Pacific . sdtunaboats@cox.net

Just another beautiful shot of the best looking boat in the fleet! Antonina C  ! sdtunaboats@cox.net

Anne M , from the looks of things it looks like an area of school fish, another one of my dads photos taken in the late 1970’s while aboard the Proud heritage. I believe the Anne M eventually became the Sea hunter.. sdtunaboats@cox.net
