The traditional fishing coble 'Repus', was found in bad repair at South Gare but was discovered to have once belonged to a Skinningrove fisherman who had died in the 1980s. Its name is just 'super' spelled backwards. The boat was built at Redcar in 1963 and retired from the fishing register in November 1996. Local people repaired the boat and provided two chainsaw-carved figures in 2008 as a memorial to all fishermen lost at sea off the Grove
The boat was being prepared for re-painting when the photo was taken (July 2018)

The Rotary Pickup (REPU) was the world's first and only Wankel-engined pickup truck. It was sold from 1974 to 1977. The Rotary-Engined Pickup had a four-port 1.3-liter 13B four-barrel carbureted engine.

Andover is where I parted company with US 6. The highway heads westward here but, after taking a quick walk around the square, I continued south on Ohio Route 7.

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Un sector de les trinxeres que defensaven la posició Raimats.
Els darrers i dramatics combats de la batalla es produiren en una posició vital per protegir la retirada del exèrcit republicà : Los Raimats, al nord de La Fatarella. Intuint la cabdal importancia d'aquesta posició, els republicans la fortificaren a consciencia, amb moltes trinxeres conectant vuit bunquers de formigó, la majoria per ametralladores però com a mÃnim un per un canó antitanc. L'assalt final començà el 14 de novembre: les tropes feixistes ocuparen La Fatarella i continuaren cap a Raimats amb molts tancs. El comandant alemany Gustav Trippe va morir allà . Els defensors de la XV Brigada perderen algunes posicións (Cota 554), però aguantaren, mentre la resta del exercit creuava l'Ebre per Flix i Riba-roja.
El 15 de novembre s'incrementà l'atac, amb molta artilleria i aviació. Els tancs T26 dispararen directament contra les troneres dels bunquers per matar els defensors. Això va permetre que la infanteria assaltés les darreres defenses de la Cota 562, morint casi tots els defensors. Riba-roja i Flix varen caure el dia 16, però l'exercit del Ebre no havia estat aniquilat.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
Part of the restored trenchline of the Raimats fortified line, in the Hill 562. It's a beautiful rural landscape, but in 1938 it was Hell.
The last and dramatic combats of the battle took place in a vital position to protect the retreat of the Republican Army: "Los Raimats", north of La Fatarella. Sensing the paramount importance of this position, the Republicans conscientiously fortified it, with many trenches connecting eight concrete bunkers, most armed with machine guns but at least one with an anti-tank gun. The final assault began on November 14: the fascist troops occupied La Fatarella and continued towards Raimats with many tanks. German Commander Gustav Trippe died in the first assault. The defenders of the XV Brigade lost some positions (hill 554, were this bunker stands), but held on, while the rest of the Republican Army crossed the Ebro by Flix and Riba-roja.
On 15th November the attack increased, with much artillery and aviation bombing. T26 tanks fired directly at the bunkers' embrasures, killing the defenders. This allowed the infantry to assault the last defenses of Hill 562, killing almost all the defenders. Riba-roja and Flix fell on the 16th, but the Ebro army had not been annihilated.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

Oggi è il 99° anniversario della rivoluzione bolscevica che segnò l'inizio del comunismo. Il primo e più duraturo regime totalitario che ancora resiste ed esiste in alcuni paesi del mondo. Molti dei moderni paesi europei lo hanno sperimentato, come la Repubblica Ceca, nella cui capitale, Praga, esiste il memoriale alle vittime del comunismo. Il comunismo, come altri totalitarismi, svilisce ed annichilisce la persona. Un monito che non deve essere dimenticato.
Memorial to the victims of Communism.
Today is the 99th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution that marked the beginning of communism. The first and oldest totalitarian regime that still resists and exists in some countries in the world. Many of the European Countries lived in such conditions, such as the Czech Republic. In its capital, Prague, there's this memorial to the victims of Communism. The communism, as other totalitarisms, degrades and annihilates the person. An admonishment that must not be forgotten.

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Aquest és un dels bunquers que protegien la Cota 562, excavat l'any 2011. Fou un dels bunquers destruits pels tancs feixistes disparant-los per la tronera. Es veuen encara els impactes de la metralla al seu interior. El sostre, perrò, fou rebentat després de la guerra per reciclar-ne el ferro.
Els darrers i dramatics combats de la batalla es produiren en una posició vital per protegir la retirada del exèrcit republicà : Los Raimats, al nord de La Fatarella. Intuint la cabdal importancia d'aquesta posició, els republicans la fortificaren a consciencia, amb moltes trinxeres conectant vuit bunquers de formigó, la majoria per ametralladores però com a mÃnim un per un canó antitanc. L'assalt final començà el 14 de novembre: les tropes feixistes ocuparen La Fatarella i continuaren cap a Raimats amb molts tancs. El comandant alemany Gustav Trippe va morir allà . Els defensors de la XV Brigada perderen algunes posicións (Cota 554), però aguantaren, mentre la resta del exercit creuava l'Ebre per Flix i Riba-roja.
El 15 de novembre s'incrementà l'atac, amb molta artilleria i aviació. Els tancs T26 dispararen directament contra les troneres dels bunquers per matar els defensors. Això va permetre que la infanteria assaltés les darreres defenses de la Cota 562, morint casi tots els defensors. Riba-roja i Flix varen caure el dia 16, però l'exercit del Ebre no havia estat aniquilat.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
Picture taken with my Rolleiflex Old Standard made in 1936; Carl Zeiss Tessar f3.5 75mm lens; Kodak Tri-X 400 stand-developed in Rodinal for 50 minutes.
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
This is one of the bunkers in Hill 562, the key position in the whole sector. It was destroyed by direct fire through the embrasures by fascist T-26 tanks. The shrapnell impacts inside could still be seen. The roof was destroyed post-war, to extract the iron bars (usuall in most bunkers of the war).
The last and dramatic combats of the battle took place in a vital position to protect the retreat of the Republican Army: "Los Raimats", north of La Fatarella. Sensing the paramount importance of this position, the Republicans conscientiously fortified it, with many trenches connecting eight concrete bunkers, most armed with machine guns but at least one with an anti-tank gun. The final assault began on November 14: the fascist troops occupied La Fatarella and continued towards Raimats with many tanks. German Commander Gustav Trippe died in the first assault. The defenders of the XV Brigade lost some positions (hill 554, were this bunker stands), but held on, while the rest of the Republican Army crossed the Ebro by Flix and Riba-roja.
On 15th November the attack increased, with much artillery and aviation bombing. T26 tanks fired directly at the bunkers' embrasures, killing the defenders. This allowed the infantry to assault the last defenses of Hill 562, killing almost all the defenders. Riba-roja and Flix fell on the 16th, but the Ebro army had not been annihilated.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

Photo taken with a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 531, made in 1938 and sold in Budapest; Carl Zeiss Tessar f3.5 / 75mm; Kodak Ektar 100, developed with C41 process modified to "bleach bypass", with the Tetenal kit. So the camera and the battlefield date to the same year. Maybe even the camera was made while combats were rising in those trenches.
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
Part of the restored trenchline of the Raimats fortified line, in the Hill 562. It's a beautiful rural landscape, but in 1938 it was Hell. When archeologists restored this trench a decade ago, they found the skeleton of a Republican soldier, killed in combat.
The last and dramatic combats of the battle took place in a vital position to protect the retreat of the Republican Army: "Los Raimats", north of La Fatarella. Sensing the paramount importance of this position, the Republicans conscientiously fortified it, with many trenches connecting eight concrete bunkers, most armed with machine guns but at least one with an anti-tank gun.

Ours et son saumon. Le poisson était rempli d'oeufs (rouges) qu'on voit sortir par les trous faits par l'ours. Lorsque celui-ci est bien repu ou trop difficile, il ne mange que les oeufs et laisse le reste du poisson entier, à la grande joie des mouettes...
The traditional fishing coble 'Repus', was found in bad repair at South Gare but was discovered to have once belonged to a Skinningrove fisherman who had died in the 1980s. Its name is just 'super' spelled backwards. The boat was built at Redcar in 1963 and retired from the fishing register in November 1996. Local people repaired the boat and provided two chainsaw-carved figures in 2008 as a memorial to all fishermen lost at sea off the Grove
