San Diego Tuna Boats

This is the A.K Strom, its  one big seiner. I Cant say I  remember it being in town much longer then the early 70s. Ironically a few of these style seiners made it to the Western Pacific and were still fishing a few years ago. [email protected]

Jacqueline Marie built by Tacoma Boats in the early 70s. These seiners seem to disappear in the mid 70s and reappeared in Western Pacific or at least it seemed that way . I believe this seiner changed names to Kali .  [email protected]
