One of my first pictures i took,  Proud Heritage heading to San Pedro to unload. I believe this was in the late 70s, I loved this rig.  My father spent many  wonderful years fishing on the Proud Heritage . Send in your pictures to [email protected]

Nair, at local banks in 1987. I took this shot while aboard the Venturous . Almost certain the seiner off the stern is the Mary Antoinette . Send your pictures to [email protected]

 

Great shot of the seiner Constitution in a set. Im guessing this was around 1980 taken by my father aboard the Proud Heritage . Joe DaLuz was the great long time skipper of the Constitution. Send me your pictures come on we know you have them . [email protected]

Another one of my family pictures . This is the famous fuel dock , or Zolezzi’s . Seemed like a lot of trips began and ended from that dock. I’m guessing this is the Mary Antoinette and the Marietta it was a  common site to see those two seiners also owned by Zolezzi at the fuel dock. Send me your pictures to [email protected]

This is another one of my photos that I took myself from Seaport Village looking South. I believe this was in the late 1990 or early 91. Great rig at the time , it was later painted blue , honestly this was the only boat that I can remember that Gann’s owned that was white. I’m sure there were others I just can’t think of them . Also, I think this was the first or one of the first seiners built by Martinac with a stern engine. Send your favorite picture to [email protected]

Well a lot to say on this photo. Had this picture sent to me by a anonymous follower. This is said to be the Cape Cod which is the old  Uncle Louie the part that bothers me most is changing of the crows nest . I get it that it may have more room and works better, but the Original one screms out Campbells shipyard , or San Diego. Send me your pictures please , lets keep the memories  alive.  [email protected]
