The Newfoundland Cod Fishery - The Distribution of Dried Fish on the Quay at St. Malo
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing photograph from the late 19th century, capturing a bustling scene of activity at the quayside of St. Malo, a historic port town in Brittany, France. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1891, showcases the aftermath of the Newfoundland cod fishing season, with piles of dried fish being distributed among the crowd of fisherfolk and traders. The photograph presents a vivid tableau of the industrial fishing industry during the Victorian era. Men and women, dressed in layers of clothing to protect against the cold and damp, work together to load and transport the precious cargo. The scene is a testament to the hard labor and communal spirit that characterized the fishing communities of the time. The quay is a hive of activity, with fish being sorted, weighed, and packed for transport to various markets. The salted cod, a staple food source for many European populations, is a valuable commodity, and the energy and determination of the people in this photograph reflect the importance of the fishing industry to the economy and food supply of the region. The photograph also highlights the international nature of the fishing trade, with the fish being transported from Newfoundland, Canada, to St. Malo, France, for distribution throughout Europe. The image is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of communities and economies during this period, and the vital role that the fishing industry played in shaping the world we live in today. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the fisherfolk and traders who made their living from the sea. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the fishing communities of St. Malo and Newfoundland, and the enduring importance of the fishing industry to the people and economies of the region.
