Scenes of the American Boy fishing.
The American Boy wrecked and was dry-docked, providing a photo opportunity. Thanks goes to Richard Chikami for providing the photos.
Not much is known about this wreck or its history, other than it was a commercial fishing boat that burned off Malibu about 9:30 PM on November 26, 1956 with no loss of life. The wreck rests in about 70'. Given that it burned and its wood construction, little of the wreck remains today
