Notes

Dwyer’s Twine Store is a two-storey low pitch roofed building clad in narrow wood clapboard. Constructed circa 1820 on the south side of Tilting, it was originally a house and was launched to its current location for use in the fishery. It served as a place to mend traps and as a place to build boats. A pit saw was also installed in the store.
