Up to the end of the fifties the tonnaia [tuna fishing bosts]would go to sea. Now all that is left are the rusty anchors from the huge boats that were actually oar propelled. This tonnaia is slightly east of Castellammare across from the rail road station. The imposing building was the staging area and shelter for the boats. It housed all the gear. The owner and his family lived upstairs. It's all abandoned now; a sad reminder of things past.
