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.

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.

Fun Fishing Industry Facts From Scott Memhard
In 1989 Cape Pond Ice and The Railways sold 23,000 tons of ice to the fishing industry.
In 1998 Cape Pond Ice and the Railways sold 12,000 tons of ice to the fishing industry
In 2008 Cape Pond Ice and The Railways sold 5500 tons of ice to the fishing industry.
People say that Cape Pond Ice is a vital part of the hub services for the fishing industry but Scott says that for him to continue he will need alternative supporting uses to continue to serve that very same industry. He says he needs financially viable supporting uses outside of the fishing industry to keep it all going.
He would need to be able to diversify to keep things going but the people that want him to keep going are the same ones that may put him out of business by not allowing him to diversify.
How ironic is that?

Beautiful Industry- Cape Pond Ice Industrial Elevator
This industrial elevator is capable of lifting palletloads of ice up and down. That saves a whole lot of manual labor.

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.
