Beautiful Industry – Roller and Gear
The seine net will come over this roller as it comes back aboard the boat. Inside these housings there are bearings which allow the roller to turn freely. You see those bronze nipples sticking out? Those are grease fittings where they pump grease into the bearings and roller so it doesn’t get covered in salt water and freeze up.

Beautiful Industry – Block
This is one of many blocks aboard the Plan B, a former tuna seiner that is being converted to a herring seiner by the folks at Cape Seafood on the State Fish Pier. The reason they are converting the Plan B is because the boat had seine history for herring. During summer area closures which restrict the Cape Seafoods Mid-Water Trawling herring boats from fishing for herring, seine boats are allowed to fish for them. So now they will still be able to catch and provide fresh lobster bait rather than rely on costly frozen lobster bait for their customers.

Yep, the venerable old winches did most of the work but never got their due respect. I guess that’s why I’m obsessed with photographing them before they all go the way of hydraulics.

Beautiful Industry Pamet Winch
Here is one of the winches that haul the trawl doors in on the Dragger Pamet. This winch is manufactured by Hawboldt Industries in Chester Nova Scotia, Canada. What is interesting and makes for a great winch is the galvanized steel that holds up well to the salt water as opposed to the old metal winches which wouldn’t hold up nearly as well to the salt water conditions that these winches operate in.

I’m not sure what my fascination with winches is but probably it’s the fact that they do so much of the work aboard fishing boats and unloading facilities. Winches and fork trucks.

Beautiful Industry- Winch
There’s something beautiful about this old winch at the Maritime Heritage Center. Knowing that it must have been responsible for pulling up millions and millions of pounds of fish right til the end of its working life.
I wonder what it’s going to be like for me when I’m gone from the dock. I think about the winch that we’ve had at the head of the dock to unload boats forever. It’s the same winch that was there when my grandfather and father were working. It’s worn and rusty but it will be strange one day when I’m no longer here for it to not be part of my every day life. Strange, huh?

It’s been a while since the Vincie N’s winch has seen any new wire. Head down to the Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center to check it out in person.
