🐟 Cannery Moon 🌕 Richmond, BC - a photo on Flickriver

            The Super Pink Moon rises over Mount Baker and a historic net loft that sits on wood pilings over the Steveston Channel (South Arm of the Fraser River). This is the first of two supermoons this year, the second one on May 26 which will also be a blood moon (total lunar eclipse) Supermoons, on average, are visually about 7% bigger and about 15% brighter than a typical full Moon. This is because the moon’s orbit is closest to the earth.

The Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site has buildings that date back to 1885 when this area was booming with canneries. The roof touched by the moon, is the Phoenix Seine Net Loft. It’s older ‘twin’ building, the Phoenix Gill Net Loft (not pictured), is in the process of being restored/rebuilt and is currently dismantled. The Phoenix Cannery was Richmond’s first cannery. 

The bright orange/red smoke stack belongs to the SS Master which is last wooden-hulled and steam-powered tug boat still in existence in B.C. (and likely Canada) Built in 1922 by Arthur Moscrop at the Beach Avenue Shipyard in False Creek. Seaspan just finished restoring this 85-foot long, 225 tons tug just in time for it’s 100 year birthday. The black diamonds on it’s smoke stack represent the towing of coal barges from Vancouver Island to Coal Harbour.

Oddly enough, the clouds around Mt. Baker appear to be part of the mountain (or vice-versa)
