The two weathered-gray buildings on the
rise of land behind the harbour are the remnants of some number of
such buildings from another era of fishing. In the days of yore,
transportation from home to the shore was not as easy as it is today
- roads were unpaved, narrow and winding and transportation was by
horse and cart - so the men came to the shore for the week, living in
these 'home away-from-home' buildings and returned to their families
on the weekends. Like all early days on the Island fishing was a
rugged way of life that we can only imagine in our pampered
environment of today - electricity, indoor plumbing, modern furnaces,
paved roads, automobiles and pick-up trucks, etc.
(however in the buildings today there is electricity, but perhaps no plumbing)
