[Esl FB] The Royal Fishery of Elysabethtown
Tezclatipoca posted a topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
The Royal Fishery of Elysabethtown In order to help the Eslandian funds, Felipe de la Manzana ordered, before his departure on the chase of the mythical golden apple, to start building some quays and develop a little island just near the entrance of the bay of Elysabethtown. Those quays, once built, became a good place to settle some fishing spots as the waters are particularly rich in this area. So, finally, it is an all industrious little island that thrived here and the old quays and the initial fort became rapidly warehouses full of dryed and salted fish ready to be exported to the rest of the colonies. It is now frequent to see fishing boats all around the little island and sometimes bigger ships are sailing to the island to deliver goods to the fishermen in exchange of their cured fish. It is possible in rare occasions that whales and other cetaceous creatures cruise by, so it is common to see whale meat and fat sailed back to the old continent from here... Here we can see a new arrival of fresh fish : And here is the entrance of the salting house, where the fish is prepared to be salted and then stored away. Here, is the drying house; where the fish is dryed and ready to be cargoed on ships that can directly board at the house. From here, we can see the storing house, an old military facility, now dedicated to the storage of crates of dryed and salted fish. Some soldiers are still here but not really needed anymore. So they are progressively moving away the weapons to leave the space to the fishing activities. The old access to the island and the initial quays were under the cliff and very well protected. Now it is just another good fishing spot. Some other views : This build took me a while... And some of you could recognize the pirate island I exposed in Antwerpen. It was my main objective to build alone and by myself a big island at the Royal dimensions. There it is ! It can be licensed by Eslandola as a Royal Artisan in Elysabethtown. @Capt Wolf you can license it for Eslandola if you want. I cannot license it for myself.
