Archival, Portuguese White Fleet - a photo on Flickriver

Archival, Portuguese White Fleet

In 1967 as a young graduate student in Oceanography at Dalhousie University, we took the recently commissioned Oceanographic research ship CSS/CCGS Hudson (1963-2022,
bulletin.cmos.ca/ship-with-a-soul-a-brief-history-of-css-...) to Newfoundland for the opening of the Logy Bay Research Station by Joey Smallwood, the Newfoundland premier from 1949 to 1972. In St. John's harbour I photographed the Luciano Primato, a 3-masted barquentine from the Portuguese White Fleet, so-called because of their white painted hulls. The White Fleet handlined for cod from wooden dories on the Grand Banks from 1504 to 1974. The CBC film of this makes great watching. www.youtube.com/watch? v=ELfR82zk08Y. The accompanying photo shows the dorymen with their wooden dories stacked on board the ship. The moratorium on cod fishing in Newfoundland waters went into effect in 1992 as a result of mismanagement and overfishing and even now there has been very limited recovery of this once thriving fishery. Kodachrome 35mm slide scanned to digital with an iPhone 15 ProMax.
