Vintage Postcards: Codfish at Shippigan (Shippagan/Shippegan)
Postcardy’s theme for her May Scavenger Hunt is FISH ,
so I thought I would use the opportunity to share another vintage black and white postcard of Shippagan, New Brunswick. Quite a contrast to Lynne’s glossy fish cards, don’t you think !

Vintage Postcard: Shippegan Peat Moss, New Brunswick
What does a bag of peat moss have to do with Shippegan – land of fishermen? We already know that when our ancestors first settled in the Shippegan area, they were there to harvest the sea (especially cod) – certainly not to farm the land which was poorly suited to most types of agriculture.
Nowadays it turns out that the land itself can also be “harvested”. I’m talking about the peat moss. Peat moss is in great demand today – especially by organic gardeners – and Shippegan peat moss is particularly valued!
Western Peat Moss, Shippagan
“… the vast plains of Shippagan had been considered a serious handicap to the growth of the community. People could not foresee that these plains would one day be the basis of a flourishing peat moss industry. Since 1942, various companies such as Fafard, Western, Atlantic and others have successfully processed and marketed peat moss from thousands of acres in Shippagan and surrounding area, giving employment to hundreds of workers.”

A Canadian Family Headstone: Theriau, Anastasie
This is the headstone of Anastasie Theriault, daughter of Tranquil/Aime Theriault and Julie Brideau who had married in Caraquet, Gloucester in 1834. It’s located in Petite-Riviere-de-L’Ile, Shippegan, Gloucester, New Brunswick.
These Theriaults are of the same Caraquet lineage as ours. We share the common ancestors Joseph Jean Theriault and Marie Joseph Girouard who were married in 1754 in Riviere-aux-Canards.
Anastasie married Olivier Valle on May 28th, 1854 and together they had at least 11 children/

A Canadian Family Headstone: Valley, O.
This is the final resting place of Olivier Vallee in Petite-Riviere-de-l’Ile Cemetery in Shippegan. Olivier’s parents were Alexis Vallee and Catherine Pineau who had married in Perce (Gaspe,Quebec) in 1819. He’s quite possibly the Olivier Valley who died at the age of 87 years old on May 12th, 1912.
Olivier married Anastasie Theriault (daughter of Tranquil/Aime Theriault and Julie Brideau) on May 28th, 1854 in Caraquet, Gloucester, New Brunswick, Canada.
The couple’s children included: Anne Rose, Olivier D., Tranquil, Joseph, Bernard, Marie, Alexandre Barthelemi, Felix, Pierre, Mary and Margaret. Their daughter Anne Rose Vallee married Philippe Luce and Anne Ward’s son Philip Charles Luce.
In this way, the Vallees are intertwined with both our Jersey Luces and our Caraquet Theriaults.

Map: Baie des Chaleurs, 1769
If you skim through our Ward/Luce and other Canadian Jersey lines you’ll notice that there’s a lot of movement between Gaspe and Shippegan/Miscou. Nowadays, we see these as two places – one in Quebec and one in New Brunswick – but to the fishermen of centuries past, all the land around the Baie des Chaleurs was seen as one large region bordering fertile fisheries.
