EDITORS COMMENTS
The Newfoundland Cod Fishery: Fishing for Cod from a Doris or Flat-Bottomed Boat," captured in this 1891 photograph from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," offers a glimpse into the dangerous and rugged world of traditional cod fishing in Newfoundland during the Victorian era. The image portrays a group of fishermen, dressed in heavy clothing and hats, bravely battling the rough seas from the deck of a small, flat-bottomed boat, or Doris, a common vessel used in the Newfoundland cod fishery. The men are seen rowing with all their might, their faces set in determination as they navigate the treacherous waters. In the foreground, one fisherman is focused on reeling in his catch, a large cod struggling against the line. The boat is surrounded by the vast expanse of the North Atlantic, its waves crashing against the sides, adding to the sense of danger and peril. The Newfoundland cod fishery was a vital industry during the 19th century, providing a livelihood for thousands of fisherfolk. The cod fishery was known for its rough seas and unpredictable weather, making it a dangerous occupation. The men who worked in this industry were renowned for their strength, endurance, and skill, as they braved the elements to bring in their catch. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the fishermen of Newfoundland, who risked their lives to provide for their families and communities. It also highlights the importance of the fishing industry to the economy and culture of Newfoundland during this period. Despite the challenges, the men continued to fish, driven by their love for the sea and the promise of a bountiful catch. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era, capturing the raw beauty and harsh realities of life on the Newfoundland coast during the 19th century.
