Brunswick Shipyard !!




These were the first photographs taken after we arrived in Brunswick. These boats never leave the docks. They are shrimp and fishing boats, diesel fuel has put these older boats to rest. They can no longer afford to go out because the price of fuel is more than they could ever get for the catch. What a shame as these are the older boats with lots of character. The other docks are covered with new million dollar yachts and fishing boats that are apparently mainly for pleasure. One of the older boats hasn't been out in 3 years.
These photos were taken around 10:30 AM, not the best of light not the worst of light. We spent about 1 1/2 hours here and then went to the local farmers market. Will post some of those later today.
