The plaque reads:
"On this site stood the first sardine cannery in Monterey, the Crescent Brand Sardine Company. The Cannery was founded by F.E. Booth, who was one of the original pioneers of the Monterey Sardine Industry.
The Monterey Commercial Property Owners Association, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary of June, 2009, dedicates this monument to the City of Monterey and its citizens. The Association is proud to be partners with the City in the economic health and prosperity of our community."
