06/14/23 BACGG Presentation: "Pioneers in the California Commercial Fisheries - The Chinese Fisherman of Old"

June 30, 2023 5:24 PM | Elyse Wong (Administrator)

On June 14, 2023, Calvin Fong presented a very informative presentation, "Pioneers in the California Commercial Fisheries - The Chinese Fisherman of Old," for the Bay Area Chinese Genealogy Group (BACGG).

Calvin Fong discussed the Chinese fishing industry in California that began in the mid-1800s to the early 1940s. Calvin's father, Fong Wan, lived an amazing life as a Chinese herbalist, nightclub owner, and now we learn he also ran a fishery.
