West Coast Fish Boats

Let’s limit this post to fish boats made of wood, like the classic 1930s Western Flyer, built for sardines and salmon and now recently reburbished . . . or rebuilt.  I regret I didn’t see it under way.

Similar in appearance, bait boat Billy Boy may never dance the waves again.

 

I’ve confirmation that Linda J

has made her way back into the sea to fish.

Farther up the coast I saw some real beauties called Monterey clippers, and 

I’ll devote the rest of this post to these lookers.

 

 

In case you didn’t guess, this is the less glitzy side of Fisherman’s wharf.

All photos, any errors, WVD, who by this posting, might just have found his way back to the less glitzy side of the sixth boro.

More West Coast fish boats can be seen here and here.
