Kevin Madruga shared this photo with us . I believe this was when Ronald Reagan was President but I could be wrong. He visited the seiners to show support of the fleet. Maybe someone could help me out with the exact details, I do know I see my good friend in the background, Lionel Silva as a little kid, RIP Lionel . sdtunaboats@cox.net

Marne K….
Beautiful picture of the Marne K looks to be on a sea trial off the coast. Something about the color of this seiners along with the Granada, Portobello , Chiriqui I just loved. Someone out there must have pictures they can share of these seiners. sdtunaboats@cox.net
Men Working….
This is a great photo for so many reasons, first, The Antonina C tied up at the dock, but also in this photo men were mending nets the way it always was at the Embarcadero. Of course I cant help but notice the old cars and no parking meters on the street . Good times , share your memories at sdtunaboats@cox.net

San Diego Embarcadero with a few of the Gann’s tuna fleet tied up. A little flash back to the good old days in the history of San Diego. Share your photos at sdtunaboats@cox.net …
Marietta …..
The Marietta tied up at the fuel dock , which was pretty normal for the Zolezzi fleet who also owned this fuel dock . Along with the Mary Antoinette these two seiners owned by the Zolezzi Family were very consistent with short trips and full loads . sdtunaboats@cox.net
Royal Pacific ….
Royal Pacific appears to be getting parts out to sea. The Tuna Fleet relied on each other for parts , fuel , and emergencys at Sea and if they were lucky they would receive mail from home . sdtunaboats@cox.net
