San Diego Tuna Boats

My family has had many fishermen in it over the years but this was the worse day for our family, my uncles boat sinking at the Local Banks. This Photo is of the Mary Lucille going down with my Uncle and his two sons aboard. Everyone on board was rescued and returned to San Diego aboard the JM Martinac . The Mary Lucille was launched The Lois Seaver in 1958 . Share your stories and photos at [email protected]
