Description : This net is made of twine. It has oval cork floats threaded on a cord along the top edge, and beadlike lead weights threaded on a cord along the bottom edge.
Commentaires : This capelin seine was used in Island Harbour by Charles McNeill (1857 - 1936) and family. It was made in Newfoundland, and the McNeills bought it from the Bartlett firm at Turnavik. The McNeills barked the net by soaking it in a spruce bud mixture to help it last longer. It was owned by Rupert McNeill and was donated to museum after his death. Abram Bartlett, and later his son, William J. Bartlett, operated a substantial fishing operation from Turnavik, from the 1870s until William passed away in 1931. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Turnavik was one of the largest fishing stations in Labrador, with two firms each supplying 10 to 15 fishing crews each season. After both firms no longer operated from Turnavik, it became a summer fishing station for families from Island Harbour and Makkovik.
Fonctions : This seine net was used for catching capelin from a boat. Capelin were eaten by both people and dogs. Some families also dried capelin to provide dog food for the winter months.
