Can still smell the softwood in the river.
the sound of logs in the de-barking drums,
the smell of sulphur...

You're welcome, the second picture was logs being loaded into a boat for transport to a Quebec mill, perhaps the one you refer to!

That top picture reminds me of the "Beachcombers" TV series, which I watched as a teenager on Australian TV in the late 70's-early 80's.

Wrong coast of course, but the idea is the same, boats as pickup truck of the sea... :-)
