Tunaman's Memorial

From yesterday's photo, Stu commented on the tuna fishing and canning industry here in San Diego, so I thought this would be a nice follow-up to his comment. At one point, San Diego was known as the tuna capital of the world (read more history here). This is Tunaman's Memorial located on Shelter Island in Point Loma. The memorial honors those who worked in the San Diego tuna fishing industry.
