My father worked on a hydrographic vessel in the early 1950s. The cod fishery was still viable, and there were still many outports in Newfoundland & Labrador that were only reachable by boat. So as they charted the coast, bays and inlets, most of which only had ancient maps (Newfoundland only joined Canadian Confederation as a province in 1949), they also dropped supplies and mail to those communities. Those days are gone, but Newfoundland remains a beautifully rugged land populated by hardy, resourceful folk with a long tradition of stories and song.
