San Diego Tuna Boats

One from my Fathers collection , but a favorite showing the new Martinac I believe its the Tifaimoana coming around hard with a unnamed Westgate seiner trailing trying to get in position. This was in the Early 80s with my Father aboard the Proud Heritage. [email protected]

If you followed my site for a while you know this boat means the world to me. My Father spent many years here as a navigator and I probably have the most memories on this seiner . Owned by Manuel Silva and built by San Diego Marine. [email protected]

Unknown seiner letting go, although I believe this is the John F Kennedy or the Pisces. Looks like a beautiful weather day, please share your pictures at [email protected]

Seiner Nair this seiner was launched the Chiriqui in San Diego way back in 1975. But honestly its been a top seiner in the Mexican fleet for years , Thank you to Jorges Fletes for sharing this photo.. Share your photo at [email protected]
