Here's the second instalment of our great day at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. They have two really awesome boats to explore: the Cape Sable, a decommissioned dragger, and the Theresa E. Connors, an old fishing schooner. Here are photos of the Cape Sable tied up to the wharf behind the museum.
BT and JT especially enjoyed pretending to be the captain.
This area is up in the bow of the boat.
This cabin is more spacious than the rest. It was probably the captains quarters.
Here are bunks where the crew would have slept.
And the dining area. Notice the wood frame around the table and between the place settings. This was to keep their dinner from flying to the floor as the ocean waves rocked the boat.
Here are a few photos of the Theresa E. Connors.
The front of the boat is tarped because of a refit.
It's lots of fun running about the deck.
This old stove is below-deck.
This is a view below-deck, peering through distant doorways. Lots of natural wood and ambience of days gone by.
Next time, I'll show you photos of a harbour tour on a great little boat with a put-put engine.
