Cannery Row (1982)

view map

One of perhaps fifty working boats left of what was once a sizable fishing fleet.
Overfishing, factory ships, rising operational costs, changes in currents and migration routes have all taken their toll.
Th canneries are all gone as well.
This boat docked at the G Street municipal pier has been geotagged for you.

A nod to the past with this vessel, and a nod to a classic work by Steinbeck. V

Most of our fishing industry is shrimping. I love the character of fishing boats. This is a fine one!

A sad fact about cannery row.

The problem is similar here, now its huge boats from other countries picking up all the fishes on the high seas, not much gets to shore. Still shell fishes and lobster..for how long? Great for the title. Vµ

Nice old ship that looks well used but still a workhorse. Love the spot of yellow in all the blue. V.

Fascinating fishing boat ... I would love to take a trip on this fishing boat.

We get a lot of foreign fishing boats in our waters too. And for a small country surrounded by seas our fish is very expensive.
In reference to Scott's comments - Cougar is the new 'hot' word here too

She's an older boat but still hot ;-)
