EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Canada's salmon industry - the canning process. Taken in the late 1890s, it shows a long stream of cans of salmon rolling through a machine, each one hermetically sealed and preserved for future consumption.
The image showcases the intricate machinery and conveyor belt used in the canning process, highlighting the precision and efficiency required to preserve this valuable food source. The tins are filled with freshly harvested salmon from the Pacific sea, reflecting Canada's rich fishing heritage.
As each tin passes down the line, it is sealed tight to ensure freshness and quality. This snapshot provides a glimpse into the labor-intensive process of preserving fish for distribution across Canada and beyond.
The sight of these neatly packed tins serves as a reminder of the importance of industries like canning in supporting local economies and providing sustenance to communities. It also underscores the ingenuity and innovation that have driven Canadian industries forward over time.
Mary Evans' print beautifully captures this moment in history, immortalizing an essential aspect of Canada's trade and industry that continues to shape its identity today.
