Hovden Cannery

In the first half of the 20th century, it marked one of the most lucrative national fisheries.

[1] It was a source for literary inspiration in the works of John Steinbeck.

[2] Hovden Cannery was founded in 1916 by Knut Hovden, a leading innovator in canning technology, and closed in 1973 after the collapse of the area fish population.

[3][4][5] The former cannery building is now the site of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which opened in 1984.
