San Diego Tuna Boats

The Tuna Seiner Calypso was being built at San Diego Marine in 1972. I actually have never seen this photo before and I would like to thank my good friend Mike Ruckle for this photo and many others from his fathers collection , the Legendary Chief Tom Ruckle.

 Looks like some net work going on at 10th avenue terminal. The Southern Pacific working on the cork line with the Royal Pacific in the background. Im guessing this is around the mid 1970s. Share your pictures with us at [email protected] and on Twitter @sdtunaboats

The seiner Nautilus working on its net at the Embarcadero with the Kerri M in the background. Nothing compares to working on the boat or the net at Embarcadero and getting a torpedo sandwich from Mona Lisa’s for lunch. Great memories share your pictures with us at [email protected] and on Twitter @sdtunaboats

My good friend Nick Cabral sends in a couple classic photos, of his grandfather Gene Cabral cutting the hair of Eddie Perreira and below are his two uncles Ed and Alvin Perreira showing off their new haircuts.
