Fisherman Truck Series- Sal Sans
Sal owns the Janaya and Joseph. He likes his fishing bumper stickers, that’s for sure. Sal’s also a pretty laid back cat. Always in a good mood when he stops by to say hi.

Automatic Gillnet Seetting Machine On Mike Leary’s Lori B
This highly innovative gillnet setting machine aboard the Lori B saves the work of two men. It is built on a frame with rollers and a swivel so it can redirect the nets from pens on either side of the boat. There is also a safety feature in which bungee cords will allow tension to save your arm from getting sucked into the machine if you get hung up on the net.
Video demonstration at 8AM

Beautiful Industry- Winch
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?

The wire that comes off the winch goes through this block and is attached to the doors which get lowered into the ocean as the cable wire gets let off of the winch spool.
