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*

I like all the rigging in this shot
