San Diego Tuna Boats

This has always been one of my favorite photos in my collection for personal reasons . This photo belonged  to my Uncle Tony and my Dad actually ran this boat for a trip so I have great memories . The Polaris later changed its name to The Gina Marie and unfortunately sank. The Polaris was built by Martinac Shipyard in 1970. Share your memories at [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats

This is a different photo but it tells a lot. This was The Elizabeth C.J leaving San Diego for Panama to pick up its net and head out on its first trip. This Seiner was eventually known as The Maria C.J , this photo is compliments of the late Keenie Batista . Share your photos at [email protected] or on Twitter @sdtunaboats
