HOOK, comprised of a series of arched arms, creates an enticing light that draws people towards it. Bathing the room in a soft glow, viewers are easily captured by HOOK's inviting elegance. Its clean design lends well in a variety of settings, casting a light that is equally suitable in commercial or residential environments.

Kind of a boring card, but the place is kinda cute. Note the gas station/cafe attached on the right. Amazingly enough, it looks like it's still there as the "Preston Cafe & Motel".

The Sandy Hook Lighthouse, located about one and a half statute miles ( inland from the tip of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, is the oldest working lighthouse in the United States. It was designed and built on June 11, 1764 by Isaac Conro. At that time, it stood only 500 feet from the tip of Sandy Hook; however, today, due to growth caused by littoral drift, it is almost one and a half miles inland from the tip.

The identity of the owner of this cant hook has faded away, like so much of the memory of that romantic period in Matawatchan’s history when logging was the central core of the community. The cant hook was the indispensable tool whenever logs had to be moved by rolling them. The spur on the end of a sturdy handle, combined with a hinged and curved hook with a sharp duck-billed point, made the cant hook very proficient in the hands of a skilled logger. Among its many purposes, the cant hook was used to roll logs onto a skidway, load log sleighs and trucks or roll logs into a sawmill and many other functions.

The origin of the cant hook is clouded by its long history. Still, it was probably invented to meet the need of loggers on the northeast coast of the United States and brought to Canada by the Loyalists or other U.S. settlers. It is hard to imagine how the forest industry could have developed and flourished without this indispensable tool.

The cant hook had a close cousin called the peavey. The peavey differed in that it had a longer and heavier handle, and the spur on the blunt end of the handle was replaced by a large metal spike. Although capable of rolling logs, the primary purpose of the peavey was to break key logs loose during log jams on a river drive. The peavey could pry or pinch logs, or two peaveys could hog-yoke the key log from a jam, releasing the log pile-up behind it.

The cant hook and peavey are no longer commonly found in Matawatchan and the area. Yet, they are symbolic of a past era when logging shanties, river drives, and sawmilling were the dominant or sole industry of the community and were the very raison d’être for its existence.

Hooking yourself to the pole properly is extremely important to prevent falling. With the proper belt, hard hat, boots, climbers, and safety rope you have to carry about an extra forty pounds.
