Nets.
The red things are laterns that floated to warn of nets

The cannery is very remote from Prince Rupert. These are the actual pictures of the house that the workers lived in. They had there own store such as coal mines had and they "owned their soul" to the company store.

Equipment used in fish process canning. The can making operation was on the 2nd floor and our guide did not have time to go up there. That was one area I wanted to see.

The first picture are of the vessels that cooked the Salmon cans. He said they found one of them in the mud under the building. The last picture is of one of the tanks. It was used in the reduction of the fish excess part. They used to throw them into the river and the birds would be fed. They then came up with a way to do what ever they did with them. He did not go into detail about it.
