Princess Laura’s Huge Net Reels
Those are some big nets wrapped around those net reels aboard the Princess Laura. In the lower left corner of the photo you can get a fisherman to get a sense of the size of these net reels.

Herring Boat Providian Net Reel
There is a whole lot of steel up high on this boat. To me it would seem top heavy, but honestly I’m no boat designer and I’m sure it’s safe as the boat has been around a while.

Herring Boat Providian Net Reel
See all the hoses leading into the net reel? Those are hydraulic hoses which power it to turn.

Beautiful Industry- Herring Boat Sunlight Winches
See where the wire passes through the white rectangular piece at the top of the winch? That white rectangular piece glides back and forth on that black bar as the wire gets loaded onto the spool so that it gets loaded evenly and doesn’t bunch up in the middle.

These massive winches are what pull the nets aboard and set them out.

The Herring gets pumped aboard and then travels down these shutes and diverted into whichever hold they want it to go with the removable slats.

Off To Work
Beautiful Industry- Block
Blocks come in all sizes. This one happens to be a big one but they come way bigger.
If you look on it’s side there’s a grease fitting. Without regular greasing the salt water eats these things up. A little grease goes a long way in extending the lifetime of mechanical equipment on fishing boats (or your vehicle for that matter)

Herring Boat Transvac- Giant Fish Vacuum
Here is a herring boat Transvac. It is used to suck the herring out of the holds of the huge boats. A vacuum is created between the fish and salt water and they get sucked out of the boat and onto the dock. Thse transvac units are sometimes mounted on trailers and transported up and down the coast as the herring migrate up and down. Some are mounted on the boats themselves. Bottom line is that this fishing industry innovation has saved a ridiculous amount of work when fishermen used to have to bale the fish out using dip nets and winches and a whole lot of back work.
