Dang, 150 bushels of salt per day is quite a lot! It must have been hellacious, though, working over huge boiling kettles in the heat. Nifty bit of history. Thanks!
The old kettle was used to boil down the sea waters, providing salt for the many troops that lived in this area. We take for granted the little things that were once a priority to life. Thank you my friend! 🐓🐓

Agreed! Also so strange that salt itself used to be so valuable and traded gram for gram like gold.
It's awful what happened in Florida! Unimaginable what those families are going through.
