Figure 62. Unloading sardines from the barge of the lampara boat Sal, Boy, at a Moss Landing cannery. The fifth man of the crew, not in photo, is operating a hoist- ing winch. Note the net-pullers mounted on the deck of the powerboat. Photograph by J. B. Phillips, September 18, 1950. to order by a machine shop in Santa Cruz and are installed by the crews of the boats. The average cost of the parts and other modifications neces- sary on each boat is about $500, exclusive of installation. Originally, Mr. Ceechini tried the two net-pulling heads in a vertical position, similar to rope-pulling gurdies, but this did not prove nearly as satisfactory as the present arrangement. The boats on which net-pullers have been installed vary from 29 to 40 feet in length. Their engines range from 90 to 165 horsepower; most of them are gasoline-powered. Except for one vessel which is constructed to carry about 25 tons in the hold, these boats tow barges that carry 20 to 40 tons of fish. Most of the barges are war-surplus steel lifeboats although one is a plywood landing barge. The lampara nets are 120 to 172 fathoms in length along the cork line and 20 to 25 fathoms deep at the bag. The cost of the materials is $1,000 to $1,500. One of the larger lampara nets used by Santa Cruz fishermen is 172 fathoms around the cork line. Each wing is 65 fathoms long and the bag is 42 fathoms long. The depth of the bag is 25 fathoms. The tapered wings are composed of eight-inch mesh (stretched), nine-thread webbing. The bag is made up of seven-eighths-inch webbing, six-thread. In the central section of the bag, next to the wings, is a square section of four-inch mesh, nine-thread, called the apron. In the central portion of the bag, next to the cork line, is another square section of webbing of one-inch mesh,
