The First Rock Salt Mine in Canada

 

 

WHARF LANDING & WAREHOUSE

This is situated on Tatamagouche Bay which is on the opposite side of Malagash Peninsula to the plant. The dock and landing are owned by the Federal Government and is used as a public landing as well as being used by the salt company without cost. The storage and shipping facilities consist of a warehouse 160' long by 60' wide with sloping sides, having a capacity of about 6,000 tons bulk salt. At the end next to the C.N.R. spur is a bucket elevator, which delivers to a 24" trough conveyor belt running along the peak of the building, by which the building can be filled from the cars. Another conveyor, 36" wide, extends the entire length of the building, through a tunnel underneath centre of building, thence through an inclined conveyor shed to pier head.
