Mary Antoinette… – San Diego Tuna Boats

Seiner Mary Antoinette tied up at its customary spot the Zolezzi Fuel Dock in the 70s. I received this photo from my wonderful Uncle Tony . Share your photos with us at [email protected]

Thanks for this website. It brings back memories of San Diego fishing.
I have been fishing many years out of Panama, Puerto Rico, Guam, Ecuador, Majuro, and now American Samoa.
The most fun and camaraderie was in San Diego in the Seventies.
I will try to find some photos of the Claire P and the Sea Hunter, two seiners I fished on out of San Diego.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi, my name is Jimmy, I’m second generation Portuguese on my Dad’s side and first generation on my Mom’s. I’ve always had a passion for Tuna Boats and their colorful history and have, over the years, amassed a large library of photos and many stories to go with them. In the hopes of keeping some of this history alive — and perhaps passing this tradition on to my son — I’ve created this site to share my memories and photos in honor of my Portuguese heritage and for the men that made their living at sea and also to those who lost their lives at sea, may they rest in peace. I hope you enjoy my photos and ramblings. Please feel welcome to share your thoughts and pictures too, I’ll be happy to post them for you. Many of the pictures you’ll see have been donated by other Portuguese and Italian friends/families and many are from my own collection, but all are treasured. Please enjoy…
