Left is the "Little Pisano" a Monterey Clipper, probably built in the early 1930's.
Right is the "Francesca B" a Monterey double ender built in 1948 in Pittsburg, CA. It was built for the Bruno family, a long time Monterey fishing family. The Bruno's named the boat after their mother, and they were the only owner. The family fished all over the California coast, primarily for salmon, anchovies, rockfish, and smelt.
