Cannery Row of Steinbeck’s Monterey Bay by David L. Keyston is a photographic journey through Monterey’s historic waterfront during the final years of its once-thriving sardine-canning industry. Featuring original photographs taken between 1971 and 1973, the book captures aging canneries, machinery, piers, fishing boats, and the rugged character of a working waterfront before much of it disappeared.
Blending Keyston’s photographs and commentary with selected passages from John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, the book preserves the atmosphere, industry, and changing identity of this iconic California landmark. It traces the transition from sardine processing and commercial fishing to the modern Cannery Row, offering readers a vivid visual record of a place shaped by labor, sea, memory, and transformation.
