HISTORY OF CARMEN II FISHING BOAT

Discover the ship Carmen II, wooden model of this tuna boat from the Bay of Biscay. Dedicated to tuna fishing in the warm months of the year, the rest of the time was spent catching other species or fishing in other areas following the seasonal migration of other tuna species.

The traditional method of fishing for these tuna vessels is trolling and live bait. This way of live bait is made possible by using bait small fish caught by the tuna fisherman himself with a small purse seine, keeping them alive on board in a nursery.
