Description
Photograph of tuna being pulled into a commercial fishing boat, ca.1920. A tuna fish at the end of a fishing line bends its body in the air to the left of center. The fish is attached tow four lines that seem to come from four fishing poles joined to catch this one large fish. Two hands and three fishing poles can be seen behind a wall on the left. In the foreground, a pile of tuna can be seen inside what appears to be a boat. Water can be seen behind the fish while a large land mass sits in the background.
