This is a photo of the plant, not the museum, that's just their watermark on the photo.

Awsome pic....

Sorry "MEE". What looks like somthing comming out of the top of the reducer is actually some white spraypaint on the wall behind it, lining out someones "tag".

Look at my post under the pic named Danger...

I hope you were wearing a mask while you were in there! Great shot!

Motts...those being wood blocks makes me think back. I used to work at Pratt & Whitney, at their hardware helpdesk. The building I worked in was the 'H' building. It was where they dragged aircraft engines, on large skis, in and out with retro-fitted bulldozers. They used those same blocks, and painted them over with this black goopy stuff. They were more sturdy than anything else. They take a lot of weight. The only thing that affected them was water. They'd suck it up and buckle, just like these. And lemme tell ya, this building had LOTS of leaks!!! It makes me wonder just what this "walkway"(?) was used for....

I'm pretty good with imaging and have even had my skills used by paranormal research group...I don't see anything either...

Motts, did you go, or look into the tunnel? Was it empty? What a massive factory. I would love to see this place myself. As I have said before, too, I love the black & white shots. Great work, Motts!

WOW!!!! I was hoping for more cars and/or car parts, but still a fascinating tour.

Thanks for sharing!!!

One comment that got lost in the rants... what's the factual backup for "Hospital Hill is where they hung the Salem witches"? Danvers was indeed part of Salem then, but the accused were hanged in Salem Town. The closest historical location is on Pope Street in Salem, off 107 and up a steep hill, where the playground and park are now.

So if Max has other, more accurate historical information, I'm sure the Danvers or Salem Historical Societies would be interested. I know I'd like to hear it.

How long do you suppose they've been there?

I see headlights!! It's ghosts driving a '57 Golden Hawk!!

Maybe underneath those blocks there's a tree trying to break through.

I've never seen blocks buckle like this. Wood, yes. Brick, no.
