Notes
Built in the 1950s from material salvaged from an earlier stage, this building was constructed by Clayton and Harvey Moody for cod and salmon fishing. Daily routines during the fishing season included salting the fish in pickling barrels and dressing the salmon. The fish were cleaned, gutted and put in tubs of salt water overnight. Fish merchants would pick up the catch the next day.
