stacked

The older residents would have still remembered it being called Bytown.

That would have been just under the falls, right? Victoria Island perhaps? I'm an admin for a group called Chaudière Falls - Ottawa/Gatineau, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

The photo was probably taken on Lebreton Flats, the centre of the lumbering industry in Ottawa and the major employer, even after the federal capital was established in Ottawa. It was called Bytown after Lt-Col John By who was in charge of the construction of the Rideau Canal from Ottawa to Kingston.

I've been in several docks over the years and have never seen timber stacked so neatly and with that roof effect to shed water in the event of rain. The cleanest and tidiest docks I have ever seen! Well done Belfast:-)

A "Bangor Castle" paddlesteamer has turned up in Belfast a couple of times already:

The bark "Krey-Woggersin" was built in Rostock in 1861/62 and was wrecked in 1916 www.windjammer.marina-scout.de/index.php/namen/4329-krey-... mfs.dk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/D-K.pdf www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?203098

In the 1895 Belfast and Province of Ulster directory, Robinson, Hill & Co are ship smiths at Dufferin Road and 10 Garmoyle Street. streetdirectories.proni.gov.uk/media/ziqr6gQOaZANJu0xstjp...

I am not sure whether this is Dufferin Road or Garmoyle street. They run either side of a dock, but I can not work out where this is as we are looking at Cave Hill, which is north of the docks, and the orientation of the dock is SW to NE.

I wish food today came in glass cans!!

I don't have a garden to produce vegetables for canning, but I do can chicken stock or beef stock. Home canning is not as widespread as it used to be, but it's still common enough that my local large drugstore carries canning supplies.

Great collection!!

My mom and dad used to stay up very late at night canning food from our garden. This was after a full days work. They used an old pressure cooker to seal the jars. The results were delicious.

This looks like a normal stack of preserves from my Georgia Grand parents basement shelves in the 1950's (but they had more Peaches and watermelon)
