The Chockle Cap is one of the last wooden fishing vessels on the East Coast. Owned and operated by Adams & Knickle Limited of Lunenburg. She is one of the company’s scallop draggers and has been plying the waters of George’s Bank and Southwest Nova Scotia for 22 years. *cue Stan Rogers music*

Some Bluenose II crew doing some rope splicing on the pier...
As a last resort, use your teeth (mothers everywhere are now shouting at their monitors, "don't use your teeth!")
Short pant legs: check. Deck shoes: check. Rope 'ladder' knot firmly snugged: check.
Bluenose II crew member working on...something.
Time to stretch the 'ole back and mend a sail...
If it weren't for the modern boats in the shot, you could almost imagine this shot was taken a hundred years ago...
I like all the rigging in this shot
