Notes

The Cobb Fish Stage and Net Loft was built by the current owner’s father, fisherman Horman Cobb, at Barr’d Islands, when he purchased a cod trap around 1955. The two storey stage/loft needed some new shores, clapboard, flashing, eaves, window glass, roofing, floor work and paint. It was painted in traditional red and white colour scheme. The fish silhouettes on the restored white doors are a variation on the commonly seen circles, known to some as hex marks.
