San Diego Tuna Boats

Some seiners I just don’t have a lot of photos of , Pan Pacific is one of those built by Campbells shipyard in San Diego . The Pan Pacific was slightly different only the American Queen also had the raised pilot house I liked the look but it must not ave been great once they added the helicopter. sdtunaboats@cox.net

One of my favorite style seiners. Polaris was built in 1970 by Martinac and later changed name to Gina Marie unfortunately  it sanked not to long after that. This photo was sent in not sure where it was taken. sdtunaboats@cox.net

One of Manuel Silva’s Fleet. The Tradition was built in 1980 by Martinac , later was sent to Western Pacific and sold. Changed name to Cape Elizabeth and unfortunulty I believe she caught fire and  sank a few years ago. Share your photos with us at sdtunaboats@cox.net

Seiner Sea Hawk docked  in San Diego bay I’m guessing in late 70s. Classic looking Campbell seiner built in 1976 later went to fish in Western Pacific and is sadly no longer in our fleet. sdtunaboats@cox.net

One of my top 2 or 3 favorite seiners. Bold Contender love this rig, I’ve asked many times for photos of her actually had one guy email me and say he had a photo of it with a chopper on it in his room but never sent the picture in . Come on throw me a bone someone has pictures of this seiner . sdtunaboats@cox.net

Seiner John F Kennedy just launched in 1970 by Martinac. Later changed name to Pisces and was a top producing seiner. sdtunaboats@cox.net
