Sea trials. 1969 was a busy year for Martinac Shipbuilding as it was in the process of completing four tuna clippers. The "Anne M," shown above on September 11, 1969, was photographed undergoing her sea trials prior to her delivery to Bumble Bee Seafoods and Capt. Frank Souza. The 165-foot tuna seiner was named after the wife of the owner of Bumble Bee; Anne (Mrs. John S.) McGowan had the honor of christening the boat on June 14, 1969. The 1.5 million dollar vessel had a 2800 h.p. diesel main engine and was expected to exceed 14 knots. Photograph ordered by J.M. Martinac Shipbuilding Corp. TPL-9409
