One log per truckdflea said:When I was a kid, my friend and I would take his dad's boat out to the log booms in Oakland bay, and get out and walk around on them. Bait fish and the cutthroat that ate them seemed to like to hang around under the booms, so we'd go out there with our rods and spend the day fishing. Back then, there were always tons of log booms in the bay waiting to get processed into lumber at the Simpson mill. There were also train loads of logs arriving at Simpson daily that you'd have to wait for when you were driving to the other side of town. Back then, there were big logs rolling into town, too - not the little pecker poles you see on log trucks now.
I don't know what the hell people in Shelton do for employment now - but there aren't any log booms in the bay because there's no mill downtown any more. Every time I'm in town, I see new apartments and houses going up, so apparently something's going on over there. -

So the biggest naval gun the Brits ever built was 15 inches. US 16”. And Japan with small penis syndrome had 18.1” ers on the Yamoto class.GrundleStiltzkin said:"A female worker cleans the rifling of a 15-inch gun after being lifted inside the barrel in the Coventry Ordnance Works during the First World War."
