Maritime Gloucester Halloween Count Down

The Indian ghost is a catfish found in the rivers of Southeast Asia.  This fish lack scales, and its transparency makes its skeleton perfectly visible!

Just My Rant. Have you heard the word Today.

This post was not made to make fun of anyone’s religious beliefs. I believe more like the Native Americans do that nature controls the Universe and our lives. I recently had a very nice older couple come to our door trying to save my soul. They were very polite. When they started to inform me how a certain prophet could make my life better I began to inform them that I appreciated their trying to help people by spreading their beliefs but I don’t believe in what the were selling. Like I said I respect everyone’s beliefs and do not try to push mine on anyone else. They continued to try to have me come over to their side. After a few minutes of this I decided to inform them how in the past two years what our family has been through. I told them how my Son Paul was killed and how he died and less than 3 months later my Father died. They looked kind shocked.  After a few minutes of a rant  I apologized for dropping all that on them and that I respected their views but it wasn’t for me. They politely said goodbye, turned around and got out as soon as they could.

I found these religious comics that people post on Facebook. So Blame them not me.

Cod Fishing, circa 1950 Part II

Once the cod are aboard the fishing vessel and out of the net, it's time to sort them. All photos by James H. Goodwin.

The fish are sorted into what were called checker boxes, to separate the cod by size and quality. Todays fishermen uses boxes or totes. Careful packing of the fish with ice is important to avoid physical damage and spoilage, in order to get the best price.

Three men clean fish and one mends a net. Almost waist high in fish.
