SD Fish business – “CITY OF TACOMA” LAUNCHED – in SD

WATERFRONT NEWS – …The new tuna clipper CITY OF TACOMA, which sailed from San Diego last week, will fish for the STAR KIST Cannery at MAYAGUEZ, PUERTO RICO. The ‘Tacoma’ was built and is owned by Mr. Arne Strom, a veteran in the Southern California tuna industry. Storm, a former San Diegan, lives in Tacoma, Washington.”

*Editorial Note: Mr. Arne Strom was long associated locally with Harbor Boat & Yacht Co. here, the Pacific Boatbuilding Co., and the Tacoma Boat Co. there. He likely deserves his own biography on his San Diego history.
