8:06 That solemn look on the young lad's face... Heartbreaking...

that is a remarkable documentary. no idea why YouTube put it in front of me, but so glad it did.

The good old days . Yes it was hard but that’s what made it the good old days . Great video thanks for the upload .
My great grandfather fished the Labrador in the early 1900’s out of Bay Roberts . Thanks again

What a heart breaker, I was rooting for them to strike it big!

the forecast wants a northwest wind..lovely....

This info is relative to the pilot in this video that landed in St Anthony harbour and took the fishing skipper up to view the ice conditions !  I became aware of this utube video on FB and since I live in St Anthony, it intrigued me, therefore I reached out and this is what I found.

Roger Penney pm’ed me this comment and I have Roger’s  permission to share it. It appears this pilot was a great mentor to many young pilots including Roger and he obviously has a lot of respect for Capt Bennett !

“Paul that Beaver is CF-OCS which I flew for the man himself Capt. Bill Bennett in the 60s. First time I've seen him without white hair. He was a friend who fired me every second day but called the next day with a trip for me. Great Man who taught a lot of pilots how to fly and survive. Gander Aviation Ltd.”

sounds like a young gordon pinsent narrating.

Great documentary of fishing down on the the Labrador.  Them Days...all gone now.

Newfoundland and Labrador wonderful places with remarkable people

Was in Little Bay Islands two summers ago, its a ghost town now, so sad 😞. It's a beautiful place. My father is from Lushes Bight, Long Island, a 30 min boat ride or so from Little Bay Islands. We were lucky to see lots of humpbacks courting eachother and flapping their fins. Just beautiful. So proud to be a Newfoundlander and proud to be Canadian ❤🇨🇦🍁

a few comments

we stayed a night in the lighthouse keepers bed & breakfast on Quirpon...the howl of the wind drowned out the blare of the fog horn going off at the lighthouse just there across the yard

you can tell these fellers and Gordon Pinsent are all from the same neck of the woods

also, the music is well done

wish there was a credit roll or a credit list in the description to see who the talented people are who made this ...  had a buddy whose dad used to do CBC's camera work for Land and Sea

'...two millstones and we was the corn'

swear that cook is j blagdon (musgrave harbour?)

i'm from town...grew up a good ways back from the water, north of elizabeth ave...there was fair mornings when the air was still and the unmistakable beat of a make 'n' break skiff steaming past Chain Rock would carry clear as the fog horn to our back yard

saw schooners with cut down masts at Main Harbour..1968..

Great documentary of the way the fishery was ! Really enjoyed  watching it !

Great classic docu

Way better than deadliest catch.

Beautiful movie! Thank you.

I came  by here in 1967.......

My wife's grandad took a dip in the North Atlantic courtesy of a U-Boat. He loved Newfoundland and Labrador, not so much for the swimming though. Interesting video

Love this show. Have looked at it three or four times. Should be shown in schools so kids could see how men worked in them days.

when I was a kid at Shelter Bay on Lake Superior on the USA side, I recall the reels for drying the nets but now, no nets, no commercial fishermen, just pleasure boats.
