"Scotia Provider", Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia
Taken back in September of 2000, here's "Scotia Provider" part way through a hull repainting. We had visited the tidal power station at the causeway and were heading down toward the "French Shore" when we noticed activity at the haul out in Annapolis Royal. The lighting was very good, the setting sun being just about ready to slip below the long ridge of North Mountain.
"Scotia Provider", a carvel-planked wooden fishing vessel, was built at the A.F.Theriault & Son yard in Meteghan River, Nova Scotia in 1979. She was a bit over 18 meters in length powered by a 520 single prop diesel engine. Although a vessel having the same name sank 150 miles off Cape Cod on July 20, 2015 (crew rescued with no losses), a recent directory of fishing vessels shows "Scotia Provider" still "active", so the lost vessel might have been a different one with the same name.
The original Ektachrome 100 slide image was taken with a Nikon F3HP, Vivitar 90-180mm Series 1 lens. The slide was copied using a Nikon D3500 camera, 55mm f/3.5 Micro Nikkor lens fitted with a Nikon 4T closeup lens, with a Soligor 1.6x achromatic closeup lens on the 4T. Lighting was provided by a 5000K LED bulb in a desk lamp.
