notes:
|
Lieutenant Edward Chappell was an English naval officer who served aboard HMS Rosamond in Newfoundland and Labrador waters ca. 1812 and later wrote of his time spent there.A fish flake is a platform built on poles and spread with boughs for drying cod on the shore of fishing villages and small towns in rural Newfoundland, Canada. The building shown here, built over the water, is actually the salting house for the drying of cod previous to its being removed to the fish flake.
