EDITORS COMMENTS
Pouch Cove, Newfoundland - Fishing Stages (circa 1910s) This evocative photograph captures the traditional fishing scene at Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, Canada, during the early 1900s. The image showcases a series of fishing stages, which are wooden structures located at the water's edge. These stages consist of an elevated platform on the shore with working tables and sheds where fish are landed, sorted, and processed for salting and drying. The rugged, rocky platform is a testament to the harsh and unforgiving coastal environment. The stages are built on the outcrop, with cliffs and cliff tops in the background, providing a dramatic backdrop to the daily activities of the local fishermen. The stages are painted with a distinctive red ochre paint, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. Fish, primarily cod, were landed at the stages using ladders and then sorted, gutted, and prepared for salting and drying. The fish were then transported to nearby salt houses where they would be preserved for the long winter months. The process of salting and drying was essential for the survival of the Newfoundland fishing communities, as it allowed them to sustain themselves during the harsh winter months when fishing was impossible. The fishing stages at Pouch Cove are a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Newfoundland and the resilience of its people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper understanding of the traditional fishing methods and the daily lives of the early 20th-century Newfoundland fishermen.
