The Captain Novello

I took a little liberty with the editing to make it look like an old postcard. Didn’t add those seagulls in but to me they look too perfect and I wouldn’t blame someone for thinking that I did.  Love the way it came out.

Welding Aboard The Princess Laura

 

The fisherman in the picture is welding the trawl doors.  The trawl doors separate the net as it travels through the water to provide the maximum spread.  The larger the mouth of the net, the more chance to catch fish.
Fishermen will tinker with the way the doors are weighted  to achieve the optimal spread.

Gloucester At Dawn- The Janel Leigh Up In The Straps

Lobster Boat For Sale $60,000

While bouncing around in Rose’s parking lot at 4:30AM this morning (because really where else would I rather be at 4:30AM?) I stumbled upon this lobster boat that is tucked in the corner.  It looks like new construction and has pretty nice lines.

Frank hauled her out to do some work on the propeller cage.  She should be back in the water today and out lobstering tomorrow. Just like that.

Sunlight Herring Seiner Seine Boat Brother Luv

Here are the Sunlight and Starlight Herring Seiner Seine Boats respectively loaded up on the sterns.     The Sunlight’s Seine boat is named “Brother Luv“.  Kinda strange name for a seine boat.

Herring Seiner Sunlight Herring Pump

The hose highlighted with the blue arrows is attached to the pump head.  The hose gets lowered into the hold to pump out the herring.   What would take a boatload of men to bail out the fish is now done by this highly efficient method of unloading.  Video at 8AM
