At last, the important role the Japanese-American abalone diver played in the development of the commercial diving industry in California has been recognized! This volume thoroughly covers the important contributions made by abalone divers to the commercial diving industry in California between 1889 and 1941. Six years of research and interviews with many members of the Japanese-American community living in the four major abalone producing areas of California have produced not only factual data, but also pictures never before published.

5.0 out of 5 stars
First time documentation of the Abalone Industry,
By Don Barthelmess (Santa Barbara, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The California Abalone Industry: A Pictorial History (Paperback)
This book is a seminal piece of work documenting the California Abalone Industry. This is a must- read for marine enthusiasts and divers alike. The author obviously put considerable effort in collecting factual historical data, events and photographs to produce this one-of-a-kind book.With the declining population of Abalone in California, the book captures the many personalities of the diving and abalone industries and clearly explains the equipment and techniques used from early days to modern times. A great addition to any diving or maritime library, we continue to use the text as a reference in our teaching and training of Marine Diving Technology at Santa Barbara City College. -Don Barthelmess Director, Marine Diving Technology Department Santa Barbara City College

5.0 out of 5 stars
A detailed story of California's first fishery to use divers,
By Torrance Parker (subseaarch@aol.com) (Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The California Abalone Industry: A Pictorial History (Paperback)
This book is very special because the author has recorded the firsthand stories of many of the key people that played a roll in this fascinating industry. Hundreds of photos, some dating back to the nineteenth century, compliment the text.
