Do you have any idea how many times I dumped those very same wire baskets full of fish on our culling table when we were handling  fish?  They had a long run in the industry, I wonder who invented them.

  1. infamous dumbass. gave you the wrong date – it’s 1943,wartime. state fish pier. if anyone of the 30 thousand or so people in gloucester smarter than me can help with i.d.s, i’d be grateful. photos taken by sherman wilhelm, long time gloucester photographer, who had a studio in the red men’s building at 65 middle. ok, i’m going to shut up now, before i screw something else up. merry christmas to us all!
