A portrait of a Newfoundland fishing village
1969-1985

OUTPORT depicts the life and culture of the people who made their living catching cod fish from small boats during the 1970s and 80s. Newfoundland’s fishing industry began hundreds of years ago. By the time of this book, fishers faced declining cod stocks and a consequent out-migration of their young people. OUTPORT tells about their lives in this time of unsettling transition using their own words.
