The retort cooked the cans after they were filled with salmon. When it burned it was not in production and had been empty of equipment with the exception of the boiler.Paxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789818184021077938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893913257553092577.post-40782449700773736002012-12-28T06:38:41.838-08:002012-12-28T06:38:41.838-08:00Another well-composed photo, Jessie.
