San Diego Tuna Boats

“Fishing for those who made a living from it understand it was a way of life. Thank you to the Balelo Family for the photos of Richard Balelo here as the Deck Boss on the Odette Therese. The men who lost their lives at Sea will never be forgotten.”

I love this photo of San Diego Bay back in the late 1970s . It shows seiners tied up at B Street Pier including the Queen Mary , but it also shows the Maritime ships, The Ferry  Berkeley and The  Star Of India at their previous docks .  Thank You to Dana Rusnak for sharing this photo with us .
