Beautiful Industry- Cape Pond Ice

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Old School Baby!  Our Winch Heads are horizontal.  This one at Cape Pond Ice Stands Vertical. Ours are also driven by electic motors.  This one is belt driven.

These things are heavy heavy duty.  I can’t even imagine what type of trauma it took to take that notch of steel out of the top edge.  It had to be something massive coming down on it.  I mean really, really massive.

My buddy Toby brought this traditional Brazilian/Portuguese dish down the dock for lunch yesterday.  He travels to New Bedford to get it because it’s that good.

Heading Out In The Dark And Cold

Terrible light for this video but that’s part of the point.

It was 14 degrees and ice was forming in the inner harbor yesterday as the Allison Carol headed out for a day of lobstering.  All while most folks are still deep in REM sleep.

David Brooks from Art Haven tells me that over 150 kids got to paint a buoy for the tree.  How’s that for community spirit? Click this text to see the scene Lia captured when Santa showed up aboard  a fire truck to light the tree.
