For nearly a century, San Diego held a special distinction that was a magnet to immigrants looking to ride the United States wave of prosperity.
That distinction – the city’s rich history in the tuna fishing industry – is the subject of the San Diego History Center’s current exhibit at Balboa Park. The industry’s prevalence brought families of Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Latino descent to the city.

The San Diego International Airport has put three new exhibits on display featuring two local photographers and the San Diego History Center in Balboa Park.
In several locations in Terminal 2, the airport is showing a selection from the History Center’s current exhibition, “TUNA! Celebrating San Diego’s Famous Fishing Industry.” The exhibit offers large-scale photographs and artifacts relating to the region’s once flurishing commerical fishing industry. It’s at the airport through September; the primary exhibit is on view in Balboa Park through Dec. 31.
