Printing Presses

I spent a weekend in Port Union back in September and learned a lot about the history of the town. One of the most interesting parts of the trip was a tour of the restored Factory building, with its period woodworking machinery and the array of presses and equipment used by the union paper, The Fishermen's Advocate. Here is a link to learn more about the town’s history http://www.historicportunion.com/en/index.html.

This is a collection of photos that I put together that were taken of the printing press machinery housed inside the restored Factor building.
