Mono Monday at the port

Mono Monday at the port

Another week begins and for me that means a Mono Post, this week I am sharing some shots from a walk around the commercial fishing port here in New Bedford.

but before getting to the photos let me wish you all a good week.

Starting with this shot of a few of the commercial fishing boats.

I was intrigued how many commercial fishing boats there are working out of the port here, but didnt find that number but did find some interesting info

An average of 1 million pounds of seafood enters and exits the port by truck, rail, and boat every day. In addition to handling the majority of the seafood landed in the Atlantic, the Port also processes a growing amount of seafood landed in foreign waters, which is then shipped into processors located in the Port of New Bedford who then ship the final product back out to be sold globally.

The Port of New Bedford has been the nation’s number one most valuable fishing port since 2001.

I see a lot of nets on the boats, but also see these things in the next photo not sure what they are and how they are used

Now I am no expert so feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I think these are lobster traps

I enjoyed it when I worked as a deckhand on board, it was full of awesome experiences. Are lot of sea food, enjoyed the sea breeze and nearly lost my life when due to tide but I became more courageous. Life is best lived as a mariner.
I love the photos shared. It's a Monday of greatness.

It's crazy the scale that some of these places operate. Like you said, the shear number of boats is just amazing. I really like the first shot. The way the light is hitting the masts makes them almost look like they are glowing.

Wow that first shot is really amazing, so it the fact that a million pounds of seafood come in that port per day!

Seeing lobster traps makes me wonder how they use them and how many lobsters they will catch. A hundred?

Thanks for sharing these photos sir. Honestly, I have a fear of being near the big boats.
