Cannery Row is the waterfront street in the New Monterey section of Monterey, California, site of a number of now-defunct sardine canning factories. The street name, formerly a nickname for Ocean View Avenue, is now official. Cannery Row was the setting of both Cannery Row (1945) and Sweet Thursday (1954). Both were the basis for the 1982 movie Cannery Row, starring Nick Nolte and Debra Winger. It is also mentioned in Bob Dylan's song Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands. Pacific Biological Laboratories, a biological supply house, was located at 800 Cannery Row from 1928 to 1948 and operated by Edward F. Ricketts, who was the inspiration for several characters in Steinbeck novels.
