Pete Balestreri; Captain Tony Barcott; Joe Zupparde; Jack Taormina; James Lucido.; Supplementary material reads: "Note: Captions and negs. arranged in sequence. Att.: Riblett. Gershon. Illus: Sardine Picture Page. First step in preparing to trap sardines in purse seine is to make ready the Coral Sea's skiff. No 13: Nick Zuvella ( hands in pockets) watches as other crew members lift bow of skiff just prior to letting it go over the stern. No 4: Jack Taormina, left, and Pete (the Barber) Balestreri in skiff from purse seiner Coral Sea as skiff hits the water. Taormina tends net lines while Balestreri tends oar. No 5: With skiff drifting away in background, Nick Zuvella climbs up on net on knees to watch for any snarling of nets as it plays out. Coral Sea continues ahead at moderate speed to insure fast running out of net. Coral Sea will complete circle back to skiff. No 3: Nick Zuvella watches corner of net for snags as it is paid out. No 7: Net circle completed, Coral Sea's skiff with Jack Taormina and Pete Balestreri in it tends to bobbing cork line which holds up net. Bottom of net is 180 feet down at this point. First step in trapping fish now is to pull rings at bottom of net together to form "purse" of seine and haul this part of net to deck of fishing boat. No 2: At winch, James Lucido pulls in slack on cable while Joe Zupparde ( in slickers) and other crew members prepare to gather in net to be secured on deck. Note cluster of rings at top of net. These rings were drawn together while net was under water and closed 'purse' on sardines. The rings have been drawn up from center of purse which now makes remainder of net only 90 feet under water. No 1: 'Stacking of net' now begins. Pete Balestreri in foreground, guides line with ring on it (ring is in his hands) while other crew members spread out net to fold it in as it is dropped from top of boom. Net is laid in folds so that it will run out more easily in next 'set'."; Supplementary material continues: "Att.: Riblett. Gershon. Sardine page captions. No 9: Pete Balestreri, foreground, reaching for hook to put in sling he has wrapped around gathered section of net coming over the side of the Coral Sea while Pete Iacono removes sling from section of net just landed on deck of net turntable. No 10: As net gets closer to the side of seiner even the "Skipper" lends a hand. Captain Tony Barcott, owner of Coral Sea, is shown hauling in guide line. No 12: Crew members haul in remaining lengths of net to bring fish to surface ready for "brailing", next step in landing fish. In this shot, sardines are shown just below the surface of water. No 8: Fish are ready for "brailing" (bringing hold of purse seiner, Coral Sea). Looking down, top of head of Pete Balestreri is seen. No 15: Sardines pour out of ring (mouth) of brailer into hold of Coral Sea. Brailer has large ring attached to long handle and long net-like sack. Ring or "mouth" is dipped into fish at side of vessel, brought to hatch opening and then "tail" of sack is lifted by boom and cable to dump fish into hold. In this shot, Nick Zuvella watches (he's in slicker while James Lucido tends winch). No 16: Joe Zupparde (in checkered shirt) watches as silver stream of sardines pile out of brailer into holds of Coral Sea. No 11: Another view of sardines going from brailer into hold of Coral Sea. When fog closes down on fishing boat, fathometer is used to intercept schools of fish. No 14: Joe Zupparde whose job it is to read fathometer points to numbers which indicate how deep school may be. A red "blip" marks surface and two red blips mark depth of bottom, any recordings in between indicate movement of fish. No 10: Capt. Tony Barcott shown at radio as he exchanges fish information with other skippers".; Supplementary material continues: "Att Riblett. Sardine picture page. Fishermen guard certain information about locale of fish but obvious information is relayed among fleet. No 6 and 18: Fog closed down on fishing boat New Home II which Coral Sea encountered. But fog was too late to prevent New Home II from scooping up 30 tons of sardines, shown being "brailed" aboard. Photo taken from bow of Coral sea which Capt. Tony Barcott put in this close for photo taken in heavy fog".

本数据集包含16张图片，主题为1951年11月1日的沙丁鱼捕捞专题版面（Sardine Page (Fishing)），涉及人员包括皮特·巴莱斯特里（Pete Balestreri）、托尼·巴科特船长（Captain Tony Barcott）、乔·祖帕德（Joe Zupparde）、杰克·陶尔米纳（Jack Taormina）与詹姆斯·卢西多（James Lucido）。

围网（purse seine）捕捞沙丁鱼的首要步骤，是为围网渔船“珊瑚海号”（Coral Sea）准备捕捞小艇。
图13：尼克·祖韦拉（Nick Zuvella，双手插兜）注视着其他船员抬起小艇船艏，准备将其从船尾下放。
图4：杰克·陶尔米纳（左侧）与“理发师”皮特·巴莱斯特里乘坐“珊瑚海号”的小艇，此时小艇即将入水。陶尔米纳负责整理网绳，巴莱斯特里操控船桨。
图5：背景中小艇正逐渐驶远，尼克·祖韦拉跪趴在渔网上，观察放网过程中是否出现网具缠绕。“珊瑚海号”以中等航速前行，确保网具能够快速放出，随后将绕回小艇位置。
图3：尼克·祖韦拉观察网具拐角处是否存在缠绕，此时网具正被逐步放出。
图7：网具围合完成，搭载着杰克·陶尔米纳与皮特·巴莱斯特里的“珊瑚海号”小艇正在操控随网漂浮的浮绳，该浮绳用于支撑网具。此时网具底部位于水下180英尺处。捕捞沙丁鱼的首个环节是收拢网具底部的环绳，形成围网的围袋，并将该部分网具吊运至渔船甲板。
图2：在绞盘处，詹姆斯·卢西多正在收紧缆绳余段，乔·祖帕德（身着防水服）与其他船员正准备收拢网具以固定于甲板。注意网具顶部的环绳组，这些环绳在水下被收拢，将沙丁鱼围合在“围袋”中。环绳从围袋中心被向上提拉，此时剩余网具仅位于水下90英尺处。
图1：此时开始“叠放网具”。前景中的皮特·巴莱斯特里正手持带环的网绳进行引导，其他船员则将网具展开折叠，随网具从吊杆顶端下放。网具被叠放为褶皱状，以便下次下网时可顺利放出。"

图9：皮特·巴莱斯特里位于前景，正伸手将挂钩装入他缠绕在刚从“珊瑚海号”船舷吊起的收拢网段的吊索中，此时皮特·亚科诺（Pete Iacono）正将吊索从刚被吊运至甲板网台的网段上卸下。
图10：随着网具愈发靠近渔船船舷，连“船长”都前来搭手。图中展示了“珊瑚海号”船东托尼·巴科特船长正在牵拉导向绳。
图12：船员们正在收拢剩余网段，将鱼群拉至水面，准备进行起吊卸鱼（brailing）——这是将鱼群卸入船舱的下一环节。本张照片中，沙丁鱼群正位于水面下方。
图8：鱼群已准备好进行起吊卸鱼（将“珊瑚海号”围网渔船的鱼舱装满）。照片采用俯视视角，可见皮特·巴莱斯特里的头顶。
图15：沙丁鱼从起吊网的环口（鱼口）倾泻至“珊瑚海号”的鱼舱中。起吊网带有连接长手柄的大环与类似渔网的长袋。将大环（即“鱼口”）浸入船侧的鱼群中，吊至舱口上方，再通过吊杆与缆绳拉起网袋的“尾部”，将鱼群卸入鱼舱。本张照片中，尼克·祖韦拉（身着防水服）正在一旁观察，詹姆斯·卢西多则负责操控绞盘。
图16：乔·祖帕德（身着格纹衬衫）注视着银色的沙丁鱼流从起吊网倾泻至“珊瑚海号”的鱼舱中。
图11：另一张沙丁鱼从起吊网卸入鱼舱的画面。当渔船被大雾笼罩时，可使用测深仪（fathometer）探测鱼群位置。
图14：负责读取测深仪数据的乔·祖帕德正指向代表鱼群可能所在深度的数值。红色“亮点”标记水面，两个红色亮点标记海底深度，两者之间的任何记录均代表鱼群的移动轨迹。
图10：托尼·巴科特船长正在电台处，与其他船长交换渔情信息。"

补充说明续："收件人：里布利特（Riblett）。沙丁鱼图片专题版面。渔民会对鱼群的捕捞区域信息严加保密，但基础的渔情信息会在渔船船队间互通。
图6与图18：“珊瑚海号”偶遇了被大雾笼罩的“新家园二号”（New Home II）渔船。但大雾并未影响“新家园二号”捞获30吨沙丁鱼，照片展示了该船正在进行起吊卸鱼作业。本照片拍摄于“珊瑚海号”的船艏，由托尼·巴科特船长操控，在浓雾中完成了这张特写拍摄。"
