After my Daily Meditating session I took these Photos of the Adventure at the Marine Railways.
In a few weeks I’ll have to find a quiet spot, because this parking lot will be filled.

The STV UNICORN, High and Dry



Here’s just one of the number of incredible exhibits to see at the Cape Ann Museum. This is what the flake yards looked like. The cod would be split open , de-boned and laid out in triangle shapes flat on drying racks.
When I was about 12 years old at our dock we were splitting and salting cod for a Norwegian company. Frank and my job was to pull off any globules of blood or liver after the cod got split and de-boned. We had a big stainless steel tank and the triangular shaped cod would come down the conveyor to us and plop into the stainless tank. Usually up around the nape of the cod rack there would be a liver still attached that we would need to rip off and give the rack a good washing to get nice and white before salting.
After that we would lay the whale cod split flat onto pallets, pour the salt over them and stack them up. I can remember the whole cooler being stacked up with pallet upon pallet of salted cod waiting to dry and then for the trailer truck to pick them up.

Many apologies to Carin. For some reason her photo did not display in the GMG Photo contest slideshow. As they say, Stuff happens. Please check out her great photos here. Thanks again for all who entered the contest. Another photo contest is coming soon.
I wonder how old those blocks are. They are the same types we used to use years ago before we switched over to the stainless ones.
