It is located in Hancock County in Maine, which I believe is supposed be the location of Collinsport.
Yup. Collinsport is located "in Hancock County, not far from Frenchman's Bay."
I'm imagining the cannery in Collinsport closing, with the associated layoffs. What would be happen to the cannery building? Would it be turned into condos?
Probably. Practically every abandoned mill or factory in my area has been turned into condos. Some of them are quite nice.
Further down in the article, it is noted that employees at the cannery that is closing were allowed to take home two free cans of sardines per day, though few did. I wonder if the Collinses were so generous.
LOL! But I suspect that would seem like little compensation for what was probably years of service.
If the Collins Cannery did close, I wonder what business the Collinses would get into next? Or perhaps they would have already diversified and gotten into other things...
Actually, that makes me wonder what the Collinses in the Depp/DS film might be into? I wonder if it's even a subject that will be touched on?
