One of the last seiners ever built in San Diego September 1989.  The Margaret Z heading out of the bay on a trial run , it looks more like a Yacht with the design changes. share your pictures with us at sdtunaboats@cox.net

What a great shot, I’m just guessing the 50s or 60s . Absolutely love these shots of the old seiners tied up at Finger Piers plus look at those great cars, who wouldn’t want a few of those classics now. sdtunaboats@cox.net
