Mast is set on horses for work |
|
All this took place over by the old original sea-wall as you can see by some of the old paintings behind the mast. As such it was difficult work because of the ferries moving as well as the local fisherman. Lots of swell in this area of the harbor - but it was where the crane was located. You just cannot always get what you want. |
