Welcome to the Cannery Row Sardine
Label Image Library.
The purpose of this
site is to preserve and encourage historical study and
interest in John Steinbeck's Cannery Row and the
Monterey sardine fishing and canning industries. These
vintage sardine labels are an artistic record of the
Monterey sardine industry. The Image
Library contains vintage California sardine, pilchard,
mackerel, squid and tuna can labels. To see the labels go
to here.

NEW!
Cannery Row:
The History of John Steinbeck's Old Ocean
view Avenue
by Michael Kenneth Hemp is now
available and you can buy your copy here. See
Cannery Row as it really was through archive
photos of professional Monterey
photographers. This
book also serves as an indispensable
companion reference to all of John
Steinbeck's Cannery
Row literature: "Cannery Row" (1945), "Sweet
Thursday" (1954), and "Log From The Sea of
Cortez" (1951). 178
archival photos from the Pat Hathaway
Historical Photo Collection of California Views
illustrate the
evolution of the Monterey Peninsula from its
earliest inhabitants to the socio-economic
disaster
following the disappearance of the
once "inexhaustible" supply of sardines.
