Fishermen and locals on the wharf in Louisbourg. Guessing from the 1930s. There were days back then when more than 400 sword fish were brought to Lewis & Co. for processing in the summer months. Names include Joe Parsons, Dan Joe Thomas, Anias King, Jack Poole, Sam King, Joe Fiander, Jack Troke, Freeman MacKenzie, Albert Bate. Possibly Billy Jewell.

The Captain was Charles Shaw (Bullock) and the first mate was Samuel MacDonald. they were half brothers and both from Louisbourg. Uncle Charlie went on to Captain RCN Destroyers for their sea trails.
Uncle Sam passed his Captains papers but died soon after of a heart attack.
