My roots go back to Greenspond with the floater fishery. I grew up fishing & loved handling a trawl by myself. I wish I could do that again but age has caught up with me and like so many of us I am not allowed to chase my dreams. So much has been taken from us.
My Grandfather James Bragg was born there in 1900.
Beautiful place hope to see it again someday.
Great to see this. My great-grandparents were born there. Fortunately I was able to visit with my wife and children.
Mine too - I was there in 1984
My partner and I wanted to visit his hometown soon. I hope to see this town. Such peaceful and have a very nice view.
My grandfather was born and raised in Greenspond.
Jewel Clark People live there.
Another great show, thanks for posting.
On the road again would be nice to see again
And the seal protesters had a steak dinner to celebrate their success.
Small fish. Constant complaint. Truth was the moratorium was coming. Somewhere around 1990 we were arguing over culling 18 inch fish, the smallest the plant in Old Perlican was capable of filleting.
What year is this episode?
This was becoming one of Newfoundland's most prosperous fishing communities in Newfoundland in it's hey day. One of the things the sealing scoundrels deceived the world into thinking was the cute and cuddly seal picture. When in fact from the very beginning many animals around the world were prey to one another. For example the lions had to get a meal for the family. They certainly didn't devour their prey in the standards Hollywood tried to portray it to be to the world. So what was the real problem here ? Individuals trying to destroy someones livelihood in another part of the world. These animal activists of the world should be exposed for what it really is in the world. Money hungry scavengers.
Is this the same G reenspond in Bonavista Bay
yes it is - my Grandma is from here a Burry
Darker days were coming.
Good fish to be found now, but Ottawa will never open, subsidize the fishery ever again.
They were getting caught skinning live pups and other cruelties. It's their own fault the seal hunt is closed down.
