"COD FISHING IN NEWFOUNDLAND & ICELAND".
Abundant text illustrated with little-known postcards and photos. The story of the adventures of these courageous sailors and their daily lives; the story of the fishing of this fish, which at the time was cheap and easy to dry, and an excellent export product.
The history of the trading houses and shipowners in some fifty ports open to this fishery, from the Adour to Brittany, via Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Ile de Ré, Nantes, Vannes, Brest, St Brieux, St Malo, Granville, Dieppe, Fécamp... a fishery that saw its last boat leave in 1936.
