You're right. They work on small commercial craft, perhaps to pull the engine or drive train, or propeller, or equipment. I noticed them behind the chain link and thought it was worthy of a photo. I don't know why they wouldn't be longer for more leverage, or perhaps for confined spaces
The Fraser River is a tidal River and the salt water goes all the way up to Pitt Lake. I would presume they got a taste of the salt. They appear to be custom made for each boat and not standard sizes
You must have a few boat repair places down there. Perhaps they have some which they don't use anymore. You could check their scrap buckets, you just never know what you may find
Interesting. It looks like they were designed to work with a sledge hammer.
ReplyDeleteI like the rust and the fence...

Those are huge. But so cool with the rust.

My Grandpa has tons of these. He was a marine engineer and his life was shipyards. I would love to have some of those now just to have for decoration.
