At the turpentine plantation in St. Andrews State Park, Florida, sap was collected from pine trees, much like maple sap for syrup. The sap was heated and strained, then vaporized in a large boiler, with a large copper vent on the top. The vent took the vapors to copper coils in a water-cooled still, where it condensed and was collected below the brick foundations of the boiler and still in wooden barrels. The barrels were then sealed and rolled up a long set of rails to a wood platform for transfer to wagons. Parts of the boiler were manufactured by Schofield's Ironworks of Macon, Georgia.
