Saltery Bay
As you enjoy the view looking westward across the Bay,imagine what the scene was like in the early 1930's and into 1940. Now there are a couple of houses, a mooring buoy or two. Back then, Saltery Bay had large docks, a fish cannery(previously a fish saltery,hence the name), and bunkhouses.
If you are here when the tide is very low, you can still see the remnants of the old pilings in the bay. Everything was destroyed by fire (likely caused by a cigarette butt) on Dec 6,1941 during a party to celebrate the end of the herring season. Take a look at the pictures in the geocache- quite a difference, then and now!
The cache is a tupperware style container with a log book and a few other items.
Note—— i had placed some copies of some pictures taken in the 1930s in the cache. Someone has removed the photos this winter2018. I am making copies and will replace.
