3 Days 3 Quotes Challenge ~ Flying Over the Past

“Protecting this country’s heritage…from fishing villages to city neighborhoods, from barns to courthouses, from historic bridges to older schools, from urban parks to rural landscapes…will help make America a better place…Preservations ensures that future generations will have a past to appreciate.” ~   Richard Moe, Forum New {2000}

These fish shacks first built in the late 1800’s and then again after the 1926 hurricane destroyed them, are all that remains of the many that were constructed and once lived in by the fishermen of Pine Island Sound. One of the shacks served as an ice house that preserved the fish until they were picked up by the run boat that came from Punta Gorda. The fish were then shipped to New York and Chicago and other cities.

I never tire of boating these pristine turquoise waters to see the fish shacks close up, on a high tide, of course. Note how shallow it is. Luckily we have been able to see it from the air. Ron’s photos of the fish shacks are on display at our small Museum of Pine Island.
