Net Mending
Net mending is a skill few fishermen possess – those who do are highly valued. The ability to mend a net can save a trip if nets become torn or damaged. Tor Bendiksen, shop manager and the chief net designer in the family business, Reidar’s Trawl-Scallop Gear and Marine Supply, will demonstrate net mending and explain how nets are custom made/designed for each vessel.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”3206″ img_size=”400X400″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”3479″ img_size=”400X400″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1568208605027{padding-top: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]
Scallop Gear Making
Nearly 50 million pounds of scallops land on New Bedford’s docks every year. These scallops are harvested using scallop dredges. A scallop vessel pulls two scallop dredges, one on each side, along the ocean floor. The sweep chain sweeps the scallops into the ring bag. The bags are made from individual steel rings with are held together with metal links all squeezed by hand using a link squeezer which operates like a giant pair of pliers. Learn more about scallop gear and how it is made with Mathieu Lemieux of Blue Fleet Welding.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1565814054945{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]
Wire Splicing
Splicing is the process of joining one piece of rope or wire to another or to itself. Today’s fishing boats have a variety of wire cables to tow dredges and nets and hoist heavy gear using a winch. Learn about wire splicing from Mike Smith of North Eastern Trawl. Mike has worked on the waterfront for nearly four decades and has years of experience splicing wire. His uncle Walter Bruce invented the hydraulic winch truck, similar to the one Mike will have on site.

Rope Splicing
Splicing is the process of joining one piece of rope or wire to another or to itself. Unlike knots, splices are permanent and highly efficient in both size and strength. Learn all about rope splicing with demonstrations from Barbara Merry! Unlike large companies, which rely on heavy machinery, Barbara works almost entirely with simple hand tools, employing many of the same skills that have been used since the days of the Tall Ships. Collectively, these skills are known as marlinspike seamanship after the marlinspike, a pointed, cylindrical tool used to separate strands of rope for splicing as well as for prying and hauling smaller line tight.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1568315345962{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”]
