Faced with 150 meatless days sanctioned bythe Catholic Church, Europeans embraced this new, seemingly endless supply of Atlantic Cod. Within decades, the French, Portuguese, Spanish and English were fishing off the shores of what is now Newfoundlandand Labrador, brought here by ships that left theirhome ports in the spring and returned to Europe in the fall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the beginning of the 19th century, a string of communities was emerging along the coast as hundreds of families soughtto harvest wealth from the sea. Their unique fishing culture proved to be incredibly self-reliant as they developed tools and techniques that were perfectly adapted to their special relationship with the Atlantic Cod.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInvented in the early 1870's, the cod trap was so effective that it remained in use virtually unchanged for over a century. And despite the powerful shipsand dragging nets that appeared after the Second World War, it is the image of fishermen hauling nets over the side of their boat that endures for this historic industry that shaped much of Atlantic North America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecial features:\u003cbr\u003e ¥ Third issue in the Historical Commerce series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40784316497995,"sku":"RCM.CA.GL.CN.000240-BE2009.1","price":1308.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_f7fa42fd-cf01-455e-88fa-ed985893d2c7.jpg?v=1717048174","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-gold-2009-d100-nunavut-anniversary-pf-_225oz_-_583-be2009-1","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
