Portuguese families from the Azores and Sicilians from the Mediterranean built a fleet that made San Diego the tuna capital of the world, with canneries employing thousands of women on the waterfront. The boats went to the Navy in 1942 and the industry left for good in the 1980s.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
