G. J. Carter's Fishing Docks
Herring Neck was bustling with cod fishing activity in the 1950s especially at G.J. Carter's. You can see the very top window of Grandma Js peaking over the large buildings along the docks. Notice all the homes that were on Ship Island across the water.

Sadly the cod fishing moratorium brought an end to the activity and life along G.J. Carter's. All of the proud wooden structures on the right hand side were removed in the 1970s. The road that you now see out of Grandma J's window was built in the late 1970s.
