Like George and everyone else, its Collldd! Snowy, and icy.Most towns have depleted their plowing / salting / overtime budgets! And Salt Piles were getting short.. Snooping around today, i drove to Boston to eyeball any ships or waterfront activity's? You never know. On the way back, i swung off the Tobin Bridge to Chelsea. There had been an old fishing trawler, i have photographed in the past, figured i would see if it were still there. It was, so i took a couple more of it, this time the tide was partially up. Last time the tide was low, leaving it high and dry. It wouldn't float anyway... On the other side of the road, is where there is usually a mountain of salt year round. And i mean a mountain..not today, was almost dry..Normally, the salt pile would be so high, you wouldn't know there was a ship at the dock from the street. There was a ship being unloaded ,by three derricks...[attachment 116286 DSC07220.jpg][attachment 116287 DSC07227.jpg][attachment 116288 DSC07222.jpg][attachment 116289 DSC07225.jpg] Yes, the trawler is still there..someday i would like to inquire if it would be possible to acquire the Mast. It would make a great Flagpole! Specially with the Mast Light still attached!If only it could talk,no doubt some history here. Come to think of it, That Pilot house would make a great shed! Hmmmm....[attachment 116290 DSC07203.jpg][attachment 116291 DSC07207.jpg]
