San Diego Tuna Boats

Seiner Polaris great little seiner which later had a name change to the Gina Marie. Built in 1970 it sank pretty early I want to say sometime in the late 70s unfortunately . Please share your photos with us at sdtunaboats@cox.net

Only posting this because it saddens me so much. Such a beautiful seiner in its San Diego days and owned by wonderful family. It was sold a few years ago to New Zealand company and appears to be up for sale again. The San Diego fleet is going away one by one and there’s not many left.. sdtunaboats@cox.net
