I received these two photos recently of the Antonina C leaving on a trip. I will always post the Antonina C, in fact I could make this site all Antonina C if I had enough pictures so send them in … [email protected]

Antonina C was to me the tuna industry. When this seiner was sold the industry was sadly gone. I remember when it was sold it was docked at 10th avenue getting ready to leave, I believe for Australia . A once great industry gone. [email protected]
