Perhaps I should have explained that the people you see on the beach are the fishermen – or their relatives – and they are preparing the fish that they have just brought in from the sea. Also, you might be amazed to know that in those days they didn’t have that many stores in the Gaspesie.
Thank you for commenting,
Mrs. Theriault

I think the food is fish maybe maybe not i think its fish. I wonder why they cutting fish for I thought they had mini grocerie stores? And that’s my comment for today.

I’d like to think I could be related to one of them! My great x 3 grandfather, Thomas William Martin (1847-1875), was a Gaspe fisherman who married at Perce, where two of his children were born, but I can find no concrete information about him. Searching the net and coming across pictures like this postcard makes me feel a bit closer to them. Thank-you!
