San Diego Tuna Boats

A look back at The Broadway Pier, with all the seiners docked on the south side, I’m guessing it was Christmas time . A follower sent this to me so I’m not taking credit for this photo but I do appreciate it. Share your photos at [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats

Susan Soares sends in this photo of her Dads model of The Elizabeth C.J , made for him by Joe Silva . Wow does this bring back memories, my good friend lived right across the street and I used to ride my bike as a kid to his house , hoping the garage was open and I could get a look inside to see Joe’s models.

The Tuna Seiner Chac Mool and an unknown seiner passing some needed fuel. Seiners depend on each other out at Sea, and you can’t imagine how nice it is to see other boats and their  crews when you’ve been at Sea for weeks or months. [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats
