Maresme's territory occupies a long and narrow area between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Serralada Litoral (Catalonia's coastal mountains), and specifically Montnegre's and Corredor's hills in the northern half and Sant Mateu's hills in the southern half. This particular shape has conditioned both the geography and the history of this comarca. Probably the main distinct elements of its geography are the characteristic rieres (torrents). These short, intermittent water streams, which cross the comarca transversally almost every hundred meters, produce powerful and dangerous floods when it rains.

Maresme has been historically very well connected with the rest of the comarca as well as with Barcelona thanks to old Camí Ral (Royal Way) (actual N-II main road) and railroad (The Barcelona–Mataró railroad route, finished in 1848, was the first ever in all the Iberian Peninsula). Communications were enhanced in recent years with the construction of the C-32's Barcelona–Mataró section (1969), which was the first autopista (highway) ever in Spain, and its subsequent enlargement, the Mataró-Palafolls's section (1995).

Not a happy doggy.
Soggy Paw Bump!
the idea was to get a cool splash in the same picture with the model...
didn't quite work out ;)
but I just think this splash looks so supercool!
and I needed something new on my front page as well...

My first splash :)
I tried several times throwing an acorn but it didn't work, and after an hour searching for some heavy and little thing to use i found a tiny tin soldier which was perfect for the experiment.
Last month, on my way to the coast, I stopped in Clatskanie, Oregon, to stretch my legs and have a look around.
Almost immediately I came upon an extraordinary survivor from an earlier chapter in the former timber town’s economic life: a large, heavily weathered structure of wood and corrugated metal that bore every mark of an old manufacturing facility. Its siding was sun-checked and silvered, its sliding doors warped and ribbed with age, its windows clouded but still defiant. It stood not as a ruin, but as something that had simply endured.
It was raining that day, and I could do little more than take note of it. The wet boards darkened to charcoal and the details blurred. I promised myself I would return.
This week, under clear winter light, I did. With dry footing and blue sky above, I was able to examine and photograph the building in detail — the scalloped trim, the massive sliding doors, the layered accretions of paint, rust, and lichen, the improvised repairs that spoke of decades of practical use. It would have made a compelling architectural study even if its history had remained unknown.
But high on one wall, almost erased by time, I noticed the ghost of a signboard. The lettering was faint, barely legible, but enough remained to make out a company name. That discovery transformed the building from texture into testimony. Armed with those fading words, I was able to trace newspaper clippings spanning sixty-five years — fragments that, taken together, told not only the story of a business but something larger: the intertwined histories of timber, river, machinery, and the men who built and operated them.
What follows is that story.
Hydraulic Marine Equipment Co., Inc.
Clatskanie, Oregon
On the banks of the Clatskanie River, where timber and tide meet, stands an enterprise born of industry, ingenuity, and Northwest determination, Hydraulic Marine Equipment Co., Inc.
From Machine Shop to Modern Manufacturer
The story begins in the years immediately following the war. In 1948, L. E. Hoy and associates operated under the name Clatskanie Machine Works, providing repair, fabrication, and mechanical services to loggers, mill operators, and river men throughout the lower Columbia region.
In December 1948, L. E. Hoy and Wilfred Elliott, doing business as Clatskanie Machine Works, appeared in Columbia County Circuit Court seeking foreclosure of a lien on machinery and equipment—an early glimpse into the realities of operating a rural fabrication shop in the postwar years
These were years of rebuilding and expansion across Oregon. Timber was moving, mills were humming, and river commerce was strong. A capable machine shop was indispensable.
By 1949 the shop was advertising the sale of ten rebuilt Cadillac engines, guaranteed “A-1,” suggesting both mechanical expertise and a willingness to trade in surplus powerplants common in the immediate post-World War II economy. Such engines were frequently repurposed for industrial use—yarders, boats, pumps, or mill equipment—illustrating the adaptive, practical nature of small Northwest machine shops.
In 1952 Clatskanie Machine Works faced a labor relations challenge when Machinists Local 63 sought to place the firm on the “unfair list.” A formal hearing was held, and the employers indicated willingness to negotiate
The episode situates the company squarely within the structured union culture of mid-century Oregon industry. Even small-town shops were not isolated from organized labor dynamics that shaped industrial life in the Pacific Northwest.
In September 1953, articles of incorporation were filed in Salem for Hydraulic Marine Equipment Co., Inc., capitalized at 100,000 dollars. The incorporators, Leland E. Hoy, Anton J. Haas Jr., William R. Mathews, and Rolland R. Mains, signaled by this step their intention to move beyond repair work into full scale equipment manufacture.
By 1955, the firm publicly declared its evolution:
We are the former Clatskanie Machine Works.
The name had changed, and so had the scope.
Serving the Timber Industry
During the mid 1950s, Hydraulic Marine Equipment advertised new logging yarders for all sizes of timber, automatic hydraulic electric sawmills, and custom logging and sawmill equipment built to order.
This was no idle boast. The postwar timber industry demanded modernization. Hydraulic controls replaced cumbersome cable systems. Electric drive systems provided smoother, more reliable power than steam or belt driven gasoline units. Efficiency meant safety, and safety meant productivity.
The company’s automatic hydraulic electric sawmills represented the progressive spirit of the era, machinery designed to reduce physical strain, increase output, and adapt to the growing importance of second growth timber.
From its Clatskanie location, the firm supplied equipment to operators across Oregon and beyond.
The Haas Influence
At the center of the company’s growth stood Anton Tony Joseph Haas Jr.
A Marine veteran of World War II, wounded in the South Pacific and decorated with the Purple Heart, Haas returned home in 1946 and entered the logging trade. By 1948 he had gained an interest in Clatskanie Machine Works and would later guide its transformation into Hydraulic Marine Equipment Company.
In the early 1950s, Haas and his partners developed what would become the firm’s most enduring contribution, the hydraulic powered gillnet roller.
For generations, gillnet fishermen hauled their nets by hand, grueling work under difficult conditions. The hydraulic roller changed that practice. Nets could be retrieved more efficiently and with far less physical strain. The device quickly found use on the Columbia River and as far north as Bristol Bay, Alaska, a testament to its practicality and rugged construction.
It was a Northwest solution to a Northwest problem.
Expanding Lines and Regional Service
By the 1960s, Hydraulic Marine Equipment had broadened its offerings. Advertisements in 1966 promoted Poulan Mustang chain saws alongside other models, reflecting the company’s continuing service to loggers and small operators. The firm had become not only a manufacturer but also a trusted regional equipment supplier.
Corporate officers such as Rolland R. Mains continued to serve in business and civic roles into the 1970s, indicating stability and community standing.
The Gillnet Legacy
By the late 1980s, as the timber industry underwent consolidation and the Columbia River fishery faced new regulatory pressures, Hydraulic Marine Equipment had refined its identity around its most distinctive product:
We build all sizes of famous Columbia Gillnet Rollers.
Advertisements in the Columbia River Gillnetter continued for decades. Stuart Haas, representing the next generation, carried forward the company name and reputation.
Through changing economic climates, fluctuating salmon runs, and shifting industrial patterns, the firm maintained its commitment to custom built hydraulic equipment tailored to working fishermen.
A Community Enterprise
Tony Haas retired in 1988, having served not only as owner and operator but also as a civic leader and long time member of local organizations. His career embodied the spirit of mid century Columbia County, military service, hard work, mechanical ingenuity, and public commitment.
Hydraulic Marine Equipment Co., Inc. was never a large corporation in the metropolitan sense. It was something more enduring, a regional industrial house built on craftsmanship and practical engineering.
> Its yarders served the forests.
> Its sawmills processed second growth.
> Its rollers worked the nets of the Columbia and the waters of Alaska.
In the story of Clatskanie, it stands as a reminder that innovation does not belong only to cities. Sometimes it is forged in a small shop near a river, by men who understand both timber and tide.
Series of five. Splash Point is a wonderful area to view Kittiwakes. Unfortunately the winter storms have taken their toll. The white scar is a rockfall this winter, showing how unstable the white cliffs are. The Kittiwakes are having to find alternative nesting sites.
تجربه سبلاشيه كانونيه وبحمدالله وفضله كانت تجربه موفقه
مررره حبيت تصوير السبلاش نتائجها دائما مذهله
ولأول مره اجرب التصوير بالكانون
تجربه لابأس بها
اتمنى ان تروق لذائقتكم ...
Tô gostando de brincar de splash! =)
Jujuba me ajudou e rendeu muitas fotos bacanas, foi dificil escolher uma só pra postar.
قمت الليلة بإلتقاط هذه الصورة
أظن مرة تانية ما بسوي سبلاش
إلا إن فكرت بطريقة لا أهدر فيها
الميـآة، لأنه حرآم المي تروح هيكـ

I've taken this picture tonight
I guess I won't do this agine
unless I figured a way without
wasting the water,
Pete and Danni kindly gave me a lens and a fishtank for my birthday, so, as you can see, I have put them to good use. Turns out the lens wasn't waterproof?! Explored!
