Blue Stratos is a retro brand of aftershave which was extremely popular in the 1970’s.
With heart notes of geranium, rose, and a dash of lavender, and base notes of cedarwood, vanilla, and musk, this UK manufactured fragrance is like a symphony for your nostrils. It's sophistication in a bottle, with a side of retro, action man charm and still available from only £4.99 a bottle.
Here's what people have to say about Blue Stratos from the UK and USA:
“This one is a great cologne and after shave to wear when you just want to smell nice without being too hung up on brand name recognition. It does the job well, and is no doubt a legendary scent worth checking out.”
“I don't hate this because it's cheap. No, on the contrary, I rather like Canoe and Acqua di Selva and Benetton Colors and other less expensive frags. But THIS stuff belongs in the garage, not in the house, as it's most handy when cleaning carburettors, stripping varnish, and fumigating.”
“Clean, masculine, with just enough attitude left in it!”
“I usually wear and enjoy it after a shower in the shiny cool winter evening, when sky is blue and and the sunlight has turned to orange, sitting in the open under the sky in solitude, sun is landing in the west and full winter moon is rising from the east, it gives a strange feeling of relaxation and calmness, no rush, no one around, this is the perfect environment for me to enjoy this cologne and other classics, I’ve been enjoying Classic fragrances in the same way for years.”

Just a barge?.....
SABRINA 5 was one of six un-powered barges built in 1944 by Charles Hill & Sons of Bristol for the Ministry of War Transport. During the war, many ships were diverted from London to the west coast ports, and barges were needed to distribute the cargoes quickly. Initially they were managed by the Severn & Canal Carrying Co. and after nationalisation in 1948, they were operated by what became British Waterways. Towed everywhere by tugs, the barges were mainly used for carrying 130 to 150 tons of imports from Avonmouth to Worcester or Stourport via the Gloucester & Sharpness Canal and the River Severn.
Each barge was crewed by two men, who shared a cabin in the stern under the wheelhouse. The principal cargoes were metals such as copper, zinc, steel and aluminium, and foodstuffs such as wheat, cheese, cocoa beans and tinned tomatoes. Dried fruit was fumigated while on board to kill off any parasites. Occasionally there was an outward cargo, and some trips were made to other ports in the Bristol Channel, but these were rare.
The hold is covered by longitudinal hatch-boards supported on four rolling frames. When loading and unloading, these frames can be pushed along to the end of the hatch opening to allow large items to be handled easily. The boards are covered by waterproof tarpaulins that are held in place by battens and wedges around the hatch combing, and strings are lashed over the top to stop the tarpaulins lifting.
On one trip, in 1949, SABRINA 5 was driven ashore west of Portishead when a tow-rope parted in a gale. The crew had to hang on for dear life as the barge crashed into the rocks several times before settling down and they had to remain in their wheelhouse with waves breaking over them for about an hour before helpers appeared on the shore. Then lines were thrown to the helpers, and the men were able to scramble over the rocks through the breaking waves to safety. SABRINA 5 was re-floated on the following day. In the 1960s, the barge traffic to the Midlands was adversely affected by the growing use of containers and lorries, and the barge fleet was formally disbanded in 1969, although some movements continued into the early 1970s. After several years of idleness, SABRINA 5 was restored at R W Davis & Son's yard at Saul, and in 1988 she became an exhibit at the National Waterways Museum in Gloucester Docks. In 2004, she was given a new role, as access ways were installed so that her hold could be used as a performance area with seating for up to 90 people.
Like most work places, rumors are rampant, spreading like a bad cold - getting worse with each telling. So when Darth Vader hears Stormtrooper Bruce is in dire straits, he has to confirm the validity of said rumor. It simply doesn't look good when an Elite Commander is having issues, even if it is STB.
Vader: Pardon my intru ... ... sion ...
STB: Sir, no apologies necessary. You know you're always welcome here.
Vader: We both know that is not true but I appreciate the thought. I'm here because of some troubling news I heard about you and wanted to see if it was true.
STB: Sir, what ever it is, I didn't do it.
Vader: Again, we both know that is probably not true. But... your quarters are ... shall I say .. rather sparse looking. And dark.
STB: I sent everything to be fumigated due to the epidemic on board.
Vader: Doctors stated we just needed to be inoculated. Want to tell the truth?
STB: Well...
Vader: Don't tell me. Let me guess. Fett has something to do with this?
STB: Well...
Vader: This is hard for me to say… but… I'll offer to share my quarters until yours are restored. I still have that bedroll you used back when I commandeered your quarters.
STB: Umm…
Vader: My tv works.
STB:
Vader: And I have a coffee maker.
STB: While I appreciate your most generous offer, Sir, I'm afraid I'll have to decline. And let’s just leave it at that.
Vader: For once, I find your lack of cooperation most pleasing. If the Emperor asks, I did make the offer. Just saying.

Harpy eagles are considered to be one of the world’s largest and most powerful eagles. Although this eagle has hind talons up to the size of grizzly bear claws, they typically can only fly with prey weighing up to approximately one half of their body weight.
Harpy eagles, like many other birds of prey, bring fresh green twigs and branches to the nest. Some researchers think this helps to fumigate the nest against insects and parasites, and provide a cooler environment for the nestling.

My house this morning just before the fumigation wraps were removed. It took them over two hours to take the wraps down - I don't know how long it took them to put the wraps up. Hopefully, that takes of the termites for a few years.
even a large false widow spider (Steatoda nobilis) is hardly a reason for a dozen London schools to be closed for fumigation... The outside walls of my house are covered with these attractive spiders at the moment.
Archive shot of puppy Diggle at about 3 months old. He's coming up to 3 years old now! For those that don't know the story;
My son & daughter in law saw an ad online & went to an address in Southampton to see him. He was sat in a dirty front garden, shivering in the rain. The couple selling him, said they had him & his sister but couldn't keep them for whatever reason. The sister had been sold. Initially they left it but that night my daughter in law was in tears, saying we've got to rescue that puppy. So back they went next day, bought him, no paperwork. no injections, he should have had at 8 weeks. And of course, unable to see the mother, as you should. Got him home to find he had fleas, worms & diarrhoea. So straight to the vets with him. Their flat and car had to be fumigated. Luckily after jabs & treatment he has turned into a lovable albeit often stubborn little dog, who has brought us all much joy.
I should say, this was my son's pic, so I take no credit.
His name is from a DC comic character, my son is a fan of DC & Marvel graphic novels.
John Thomas "Dig" Diggle (born c. 1977) is a former bodyguard, former soldier and now, a former member of Team Arrow. John is the older brother of the late Andy Diggle, the husband of Lyla Michaels and the father of John "JJ" Diggle, Jr. (Sara Diggle in the pre-Flashpoint timeline). As a member of Oliver's team, John is his partner and plays a number of roles including field support, decoy and guidance to Oliver in times of doubt. John was known in the Suicide Squad under the code-name Freelancer. Later he took up a suit and was officially given the designation Spartan by Felicity. Oliver would later (temporarily) retire from vigilantism, and asked John to carry on the mantle of Green Arrow and leader of Team Arrow by extension; until the FBI's investigation is over.

A picture collage of my first smoke shooting (out of 4 single shots).
Smoke came from burning incense. Taken in the kitchen at home.
Smoke is a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion or pyrolysis, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass. It is commonly an unwanted by-product of fires (including stoves, candles, oil lamps, and fireplaces), but may also be used for pest control (cf. fumigation), communication (smoke signals), defensive and offensive capabilities in the military (smoke-screen), cooking (smoked salmon), or smoking (tobacco, marijuana, etc.). Smoke is used in rituals, when incense, sage, or resin is burned to produce a smell for spiritual purposes. Smoke is sometimes used as a flavoring agent, and preservative for various foodstuffs. Smoke is also a component of internal combustion engine exhaust gas, particularly diesel exhaust.
Smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death in victims of indoor fires. The smoke kills by a combination of thermal damage, poisoning and pulmonary irritation caused by carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide and other combustion products.
Smoke particles are an aerosol (or mist) of solid particles and liquid droplets that are close to the ideal range of sizes for Mie scattering of visible light

The Grade I Listed Lyveden New Bield, (sometimes called New Build), an unfinished Elizabethan summer house, which is now owned by the National Trust. It is located close to the village of Aldwincle in Northamptonshire owned by the National Trust.
It was constructed for Sir Thomas Tresham, the fervent Roman Catholic of Rushton Hall, and is thought to have been designed by Robert Stickells. The New Bield was on the estate of Tresham's second home, Lyveden Manor House, also known as Lyveden Old Bield.
New Bield has a religious design full of symbolism. Designed on a plan reminiscent of a Greek cross, the facades have a strict symmetry. The building has two floors above a raised basement, with mullioned and transomed windows. Each floor had three rooms with a staircase in the south projection of the cross. The exterior of the building is decorated by friezes of a religious nature. The metopes contain the emblems and motifs found also at the triangular lodge, such as the "IHS" christogram.
The house had a great hall and parlour on the first floor, kitchen and buttery in the basement, and a bedroom on the upper floor. However, it was probably never intended for full-time occupation. Too close to the main house for use as a hunting lodge, it may have been intended for use as a "Secret House"—keeping a secret house was a custom of the 16th century. Often within a mile of the main house, the secret house was a place where the head of the household would retire for a few days with a minimum of servants, while the principal house was thoroughly cleaned and, bearing in mind the sanitation of the time, fumigated.
Sir Thomas Tresham died in 1605 following decades of religious persecution, his once vast wealth having been severely depleted. His son Francis Tresham inherited the estate, but within the same year, along with his cousins Catesby and Wintour, he became involved in the Gunpowder Plot. Thus, within a year the estate had a third owner, Francis's son Lewis Tresham. The estate was managed by Lewis's mother until her death in 1615. After this, Lewis Tresham, a spendthrift, lost the remaining family wealth. The estate was eventually sold following the death of his son in 1643.

''I don't want to quit smoking. I am convinced that if I quit smoking, the world would go to hell.'' - Marjane Satrapi
A brief sojourn to February 2020 finds WC 1561 on Hospice care in the Shops roundhouse. She’s likely turned her last revenue wheel at this point, for the CN anyways. 1561 came in to being exactly 52 years prior in February of 1968 for the Kentucky & Indiana Terminal. She even retained a touch of the KIT dark blue on the window sills as well as Southern RR stencils inside the carbody doors. My time running her was relatively short, a couple of years, but she was definitely among my favorite locomotives over operated. A lightning quick throttle, double clasp brakes and a bark that would wake up the whole neighborhood. She had a propensity for generating gagging clouds of blue smoke when left in idle for long periods, open up the throttle and you could fumigate the whole neighborhood!
Thanks so much for all your notes! We just got home.
We are so blessed. It was such a crazy 36 hours.
Yesterday we had planned to have the house fumigated for termites. We took our cats to the vet to stay overnight, then we checked in to a hotel in Waikiki - ocean front. After dinner the news came of the earthquake in Japan.
For the rest of the night we heard sirens and alarms and emergency announcements just below our window telling people to get off of the beach. Can you believe it? After the damage in Japan, these people are walking in an empty Waikiki? Crazy. It felt like being in that movie 'Bladerunner."
Most of the people in our hotel were from Japan, and none of them spoke English. I felt so bad that I was not able to communicate our deep sadness over their misfortune.
Thank you so much for thinking of us.
It feels so good to be home.
love to you,

The 60 foot long Stewart covered bridge is of Howe truss design and was built in 1930. It crosses Mosby Creek a tributary of the Row River.
The bridge has semicircular portal arches, ribbon openings at the eaves and decorative s-curve brackets. In 1964 flood waters cracked the lower chords. Then a few years later a heavy snowfall caved in the roof. In 1980, the Stewart Bridge was bypassed by a concrete bridge built immediately adjacent. In 1987 efforts to preserve the historic wooden bridge included fumigation, removing an approach and fencing off the remaining portal.
Steward Bridge remained closed until 1993, when the Oregon Covered Bridge Program helped fund its restoration. It was reopened for pedestrian access in 1996, but is now completely closed.
Unable to find any reference for the Stewart bridge name.
These couches are not far from where I live. On this street people toss stuff out where they please. So far, no one from the city of Glendale has come to pick them up. The upside down one looks a little smaller. I suppose it would cost a lot to fumigate both couches if one wanted to take them home to their places. But they have been out near the curb for almost two weeks.
If anything, they made an interesting photo-op.
Knappton Cove ...
Knappton Cove is located downstream of the town of Knappton and the "Knappton Site" marker, and upstream of Cliff Point. In 1876 the east side of the Cove became the home of the Knappton Cannery, and in 1899 it became the location of a U.S. Quarantine Station known as the "Ellis Island of the Columbia River". The Station - also known as the "Columbia River Quarantine Station" and "Knappton Cove Camp" - housed emigrants arriving by passenger ship who possibly carried disease.
Early Knappton ...
Knappton was founded in 1867 by Jabez B. Knapp, who called the community "Cementville" after discovering an outcrop of rock good for cement production. The venture failed however after two years as raw materials diminished. Knapp then formed the Columbia River Manufacturing Company and built a sawmill for lumber production.
In 1871 a Post Office was established and the town name was changed to "Knappton" to honor the founder. The Post Office was discontinued in 1943.
In 1876, Knapp's mill was sold to Captain Asa M. Simpson, who, in 1909, sold his interest to the Brix brothers Grays Bay Logging Company. The onset of the depression crippled the Knappton mill but a mill fire in 1936 closed it for good and destroyed most of the homes on the adjoining hillside as well.
In 1876 the Hume brothers, who brought salmon canning to the Columbia River in 1867, built a cannery just west of Knappton. Eventually known as the "Eureka and Epicure Packing Company", the cannery operated until 1897 when it was abandoned.
In 1899 the U.S. Government bought the old cannery site for use as a Quarantine Station. Between 1899 and 1938, hundreds of Chinese, Japanese, and European laborers went through the station. The station closed in 1938. The station's hospital building, built in 1912, is now a museum. In 1971 the wharf was damaged by a storm making it unsafe. It was demolished in 1975.
Between 1950 and 1956 the old quarantine station operated as a fishing resort for the Clarence and Katherine Bell family. They purchased the site at a U.S. government surplus property auction.
In 1980 the Knappton Quarantine Station was added to the National Register of Historical Places (#80004007). Since 1995 the hospital building has housed the Knappton Cove Heritage Center.
More Early Knappton ...
The 1888 U.S. Commission of Fish and Fisheries's "Chart of the Columbia River from the Ocean to Portland, Oregon, Illustrating the Condition of the Salmon Fishery, Season of 1888-9" had "Knappton Cannery" located on the upstream side of the point and further upstream the town of Knappton was labeled "Cementville".
At various times the area was also known as "Todd Bay" and "Centerville".
From the 1909 NOAA "Coast Survey":
"... Between Astoria and Portland there are numerous landings and settlements, dependent either on the fisheries or acting in some cases as shipping points for the country immediately behind them; these are ports of call for the regular river steamers. Deep-draft vessels do not as a rule stop between Astoria and Portland, except for lumber cargoes at Rainier, Goble, Westport, Knappton, and some small mills. ..."
From the 1942 NOAA "Coast Pilot":
"... There is a lumber wharf at Knappton 675 feet long, with a depth alongside of 33 feet at the lower end and 17 feet at the upper end. Vessels drawing up to 30 feet come to this dock. There is ferry service with Astoria. ..."
From the Pacific County Historical Society and Museum ...
"KNAPPTON: Abandoned sawmill town overlooking the Columbia River, south of Naselle, on Highway 401. In 1868, Portland businessman Jabez Burrell Knapp, found suitable rocks for the manufacture of cement near the Columbia River home of Job Lamely. Knapp and partners purchased the waterfront site from Francis Hopkinson, a music teacher, and in 1868-69 built a large kiln and a barrel factory to package the cement. Knapp called his manufacturing settlement Cementville. The raw material for making cement proved limited however, and the venture failed after two years. Knapp next organized the Columbia River Manufacturing Company and went into the sawmill business. He continued to make cement and barrels but those works were scaled down. In 1870 Knapp quit his Portland business and moved permanently to the settlement he now called Knappton (contraction of Knapp Town). The name was confirmed when a post office was established April 13, 1871; it was discontinued November 15, 1943. In 1876, the mill was sold to Captain Asa M. Simpson, who eventually sold his interest to the Brix brothers Grays Bay Logging Company in 1909. The onset of the depression crippled the Knappton mill but a mill fire in 1936 closed it for good and destroyed most of the homes on the adjoining hillside as well."
"COLUMBIA RIVER QUARANTINE STATION: Abandoned United States quarantine station at Knappton Cove / Columbia River on Highway 401. The site was part of the Job Lamley Donation Land Claim 1853 to 1876. The Hume brothers, who brought salmon canning to the Columbia River in 1867, had a cannery on the site from 1876 to 1899. The Federal Government bought the site for $8,000 and opened a quarantine station May 1899. The station caretakers and medical personnel were the only inhabitants of the station but there were several families living near the station and Knappton was just over the hill to the east of the site. Ships with infestation or disease went to Knappton for fumigation. Hundreds of Chinese, Japanese, and European laborers went through the station until it was closed in 1938. The Clarence Bell family bought the property at auction in August 1950 and operated a fishing resort on the site until 1956. The old station hospital, mess hall, caretakers / medical personnel quarters and repair shop are still used by the Bell family. The wharf was dismantled due to the danger posed by rotting pilings."

Knappton in 1941 ...
From "The New Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State, Federal Writers' Project, 1941":
"... South of Naselle on State 12-B is KNAPPTON, (133 alt., 39 pop.), a cluster of ancient buildings around a ferry slip. The KNAPPTON-ASTORIA FERRY (car and driver, $1; passengers, 25c; 4 times daily) crosses the Columbia River to Oregon. ..."

Thus, within a year the estate had a third owner, Francis's son Lewis Tresham. The estate was managed by Lewis's mother until her death in 1615. After this, Lewis Tresham, a spendthrift, lost the remaining family wealth. The estate was eventually sold following the death of his son in 1643.

At Goodwood, there is a retro Tesco store where you can enjoy a stroll down the supermarket aisles of the past and purchase some of the merchandise. I spotted a particular after shave and it took me back to my youth.
Brut aftershave was advertised by Henry Cooper, Barry Sheen and Kevin Keegan who were major sports stars of the 60's, 70's and 80’s. The slogan for the after shave was "Splash it all over”. It was quite ‘strong smelling’ and came in a green glass or plastic bottle and it had a very distinctive fragrance. Brut is produced by Faberge and still sold to this day.
Here's what people have to say about Brut from the UK and USA:
“This one is a great cologne and after shave to wear when you just want to smell nice without being too hung up on brand name recognition. It does the job well, and is no doubt a legendary scent worth checking out.”
“I don't hate this because it's cheap. No, on the contrary, I rather like Canoe and Acqua di Selva and That Man and Benetton Colors and other less expensive frags. But THIS stuff belongs in the garage, not in the house, as it's most handy when cleaning carburettors, stripping varnish, and fumigating.”
“Clean, masculine, with just enough attitude left in it… Brut!”
“I usually wear and enjoy it after a shower in the shiny cool winter evening, when sky is blue and and the sunlight has turned to orange, sitting in the open under the sky in solitude, sun is landing in the west and full winter moon is rising from the east, it gives a strange feeling of relaxation and calmness, no rush, no one around, this is the perfect environment for me to enjoy brut and other classics, I’m enjoying Classic fragrances in the same way for years.”
2013 has been a very busy year for me, overall I have taken 9888 photos this year, unfortunately I have not been able to upload all of them mainly due to me not be able to catalogue most of them due to me going out to get more photos (currently back dated to July at the moment) but overall I would like to wish everyone a very happy new year. Thank you for all your support you have show from you likes and comments and I leave 2013 with an image that most people would never see, a bus all wrapped up for fumigation, London United MCL6 (BD11LWT) parked down the ally at Hounslow Bus Garage back in August.
Knappton Cove ...
Knappton Cove is located downstream of the town of Knappton and the "Knappton Site" marker, and upstream of Cliff Point. In 1876 the east side of the Cove became the home of the Knappton Cannery, and in 1899 it became the location of a U.S. Quarantine Station known as the "Ellis Island of the Columbia River". The Station - also known as the "Columbia River Quarantine Station" and "Knappton Cove Camp" - housed emigrants arriving by passenger ship who possibly carried disease.
Early Knappton ...
Knappton was founded in 1867 by Jabez B. Knapp, who called the community "Cementville" after discovering an outcrop of rock good for cement production. The venture failed however after two years as raw materials diminished. Knapp then formed the Columbia Riaver Manufacturing Company and built a sawmill for lumber production.
In 1871 a Post Office was established and the town name was changed to "Knappton" to honor the founder. The Post Office was discontinued in 1943.
In 1876, Knapp's mill was sold to Captain Asa M. Simpson, who, in 1909, sold his interest to the Brix brothers Grays Bay Logging Company. The onset of the depression crippled the Knappton mill but a mill fire in 1936 closed it for good and destroyed most of the homes on the adjoining hillside as well.
In 1876 the Hume brothers, who brought salmon canning to the Columbia River in 1867, built a cannery just west of Knappton. Eventually known as the "Eureka and Epicure Packing Company", the cannery operated until 1897 when it was abandoned.
In 1899 the U.S. Government bought the old cannery site for use as a Quarantine Station. Between 1899 and 1938, hundreds of Chinese, Japanese, and European laborers went through the station. The station closed in 1938. The station's hospital building, built in 1912, is now a museum. In 1971 the wharf was damaged by a storm making it unsafe. It was demolished in 1975.
Between 1950 and 1956 the old quarantine station operated as a fishing resort for the Clarence and Katherine Bell family. They purchased the site at a U.S. government surplus property auction.
In 1980 the Knappton Quarantine Station was added to the National Register of Historical Places (#80004007). Since 1995 the hospital building has housed the Knappton Cove Heritage Center.
More Early Knappton ...
The 1888 U.S. Commission of Fish and Fisheries's "Chart of the Columbia River from the Ocean to Portland, Oregon, Illustrating the Condition of the Salmon Fishery, Season of 1888-9" had "Knappton Cannery" located on the upstream side of the point and further upstream the town of Knappton was labeled "Cementville".
At various times the area was also known as "Todd Bay" and "Centerville".
From the 1909 NOAA "Coast Survey":
"... Between Astoria and Portland there are numerous landings and settlements, dependent either on the fisheries or acting in some cases as shipping points for the country immediately behind them; these are ports of call for the regular river steamers. Deep-draft vessels do not as a rule stop between Astoria and Portland, except for lumber cargoes at Rainier, Goble, Westport, Knappton, and some small mills. ..."
From the 1942 NOAA "Coast Pilot":
"... There is a lumber wharf at Knappton 675 feet long, with a depth alongside of 33 feet at the lower end and 17 feet at the upper end. Vessels drawing up to 30 feet come to this dock. There is ferry service with Astoria. ..."

"KNAPPTON: Abandoned sawmill town overlooking the Columbia River, south of Naselle, on Highway 401. In 1868, Portland businessman Jabez Burrell Knapp, found suitable rocks for the manufacture of cement near the Columbia River home of Job Lamely. Knapp and partners purchased the waterfront site from Francis Hopkinson, a music teacher, and in 1868-69 built a large kiln and a barrel factory to package the cement. Knapp called his manufacturing settlement Cementville. The raw material for making cement proved limited however, and the venture failed after two years. Knapp next organized the Columbia River Manufacturing Company and went into the sawmill business. He continued to make cement and barrels but those works were scaled down. In 1870 Knapp quit his Portland business and moved permanently to the settlement he now called Knappton (contraction of Knapp Town). The name was confirmed when a post office was established April 13, 1871; it was discontinued November 15, 1943. In 1876, the mill was sold to Captain Asa M. Simpson, who eventually sold his interest to the Brix brothers Grays Bay Logging Company in 1909. The onset of the depression crippled the Knappton mill but a mill fire in 1936 closed it for good and destroyed most of the homes on the adjoining hillside as well."
"COLUMBIA RIVER QUARANTINE STATION: Abandoned United States quarantine station at Knappton Cove / Columbia River on Highway 401. The site was part of the Job Lamley Donation Land Claim 1853 to 1876. The Hume brothers, who brought salmon canning to the Columbia River in 1867, had a cannery on the site from 1876 to 1899. The Federal Government bought the site for $8,000 and opened a quarantine station May 1899. The station caretakers and medical personnel were the only inhabitants of the station but there were several families living near the station and Knappton was just over the hill to the east of the site. Ships with infestation or disease went to Knappton for fumigation. Hundreds of Chinese, Japanese, and European laborers went through the station until it was closed in 1938. The Clarence Bell family bought the property at auction in August 1950 and operated a fishing resort on the site until 1956. The old station hospital, mess hall, caretakers / medical personnel quarters and repair shop are still used by the Bell family. The wharf was dismantled due to the danger posed by rotting pilings."

Knappton in 1941 ...
From "The New Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State, Federal Writers' Project, 1941":
"... South of Naselle on State 12-B is KNAPPTON, (133 alt., 39 pop.), a cluster of ancient buildings around a ferry slip. The KNAPPTON-ASTORIA FERRY (car and driver, $1; passengers, 25c; 4 times daily) crosses the Columbia River to Oregon. ..."
