Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: It's an ideal day for Oyster dredging. It is hard to manipulate tongs and rakes when a lively sea bounces the boat at anchor over the beds. Fortunately; oysters themselves; unlike scallops; like sheltered waters and this fishing has none of the perils of cod fishing on the stormy Banks. It is; however; a cold occupations in November and the tug has its windows boarded.
