12.01.2022 The recent Tuna Poler statue launch was an exciting event, bringing to fruition an idea of Jim Kay and the Port Lincoln Rotary Club to provide an icon for the city. We assisted by managing the funding provided by generous donors. Ken Martins sculpture is a wonderful tribute to the early tuna polers working in the fledgling days of the tuna industry. it was especially moving to see a number of these men there on the day, including Jack Bellamy from the Tacoma, Lawrie Vahlberg and Haigen Stehr AO who was also the guest speaker bringing alive those days.
