Scope and content
Boat launching. A large standing crowd spills out onto the grounds of the J.M. Martinac Shipbuilding Corporation yard on the evening of June 14, 1969, as they attentively listen to pre-launching speeches. The "Anne M, " a 165-foot tuna seiner, would shortly slip down the ways into City (now Thea Foss) Waterways. She has a 650-ton frozen fish capacity and would fish in the waters around Astoria for Bumble Bee Seafoods. Captain Frank Souza is the master of the ship. Scheduled delivery of the "Anne M" to her owners is for late August of 1969. Photograph ordered by the J.M. Martinac Shipbuilding Corp. (TNT 6-16-69, p. 29) TPL-9404
