This fan belt and radiator are part of the engine attatched to the Lister.  Notice on this fan belt that it is not one continuous belt but a series of interconnecting links that can be taken out or added to to adjust the size of the belt.   It’s good to have these aboard boats in case you need to replace a broken one while out at sea.

This is the top of a Lister.   Many fishing boats used them to generate electricity.   Click this text to see the Lister Wikipedia page which describes their uses Many fishermen use the term Lister for any brand generator.  Interestingly enough the head quaters and Manufacturing facility for Lister are in Dursley, Gloucestershire in the UK.

The ice travels down that troth and into the funnel looking thing where it gets blasted out by the huge motors and delivered through large hoses to either boats or trucks.  The same way today that it was done 25 years ago.  Some times when things work you stick with it.

East Gloucester is a great place to walk, especially with a camera.  I like to take  close-up shots of ordinary things. It makes me more aware of design and patterns in everything.      —-Sharon

Here is Scott Memhard, owner of Cape Pond Ice.  The picture is taken from the tower where ice is distributed to either oceanside to the boats or truck dockside to truck trade.

Beautiful Industry Fishing Net Gear

This plate is where the different sections of the net are connected. It connects on the other side to the main cable that will wrap around winch and pull the net aboard the boat.  You see where there are three shackles connected to this metal plate which spread the net apart to get the maximum area of ocean covered to snare thse fish.
