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.

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
