Island Princess, I’m actually not sure what boat this was originally ? Where you at Tom, I’m sure you know?  sdtunaboats@cox.net

Great shot of the Lone Wolf… sdtunaboats@cox.net

I’m back , and no better way to kick it off then the two best looking boats in the Fleet. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Embarcadero , really miss those days. looks like the Sea Wolf but not sure. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Claudia B, Skipper and owner John B looks to be unloading … sdtunaboats@cox.net

Connie Jean , a legend of a boat. Looks to be working on the net down at Westgate..Who would have guessed this would have been one of the last boats fishing. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Classic shot of the Pacific Queen at the Embarcadero.. one of the first built Martinac tuna seiners.. sdtunaboats@cox.net

This was the first Conquest , actually wasn’t around too long i believe it was sold to Mexico.. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Claire P. , another beautiful looking Martinac Built Tuna Seiner. I know it ended up fishing in Western Pacific in the early 80’s , not sure what happened after that. sdtunaboats@cox.net

Now this is a classic, Shelter island boat launch and the Jeanette Diana going out of the bay. If you grew up in San Diego you definitely launched a boat at that boat launch. And there was probably a Tuna Boat going out of the Bay. sdtunaboats@cox.net
