And likely similar to your area, with our forests we had an enormous barrel making industry as well. We actually shipped a lot of apples around the world in barrels, but also many other products.
'By the 1920s, seven million barrels of apples were shipped by rail from the Annapolis Valley through Halifax to England.'
