Once, the north coast of British Columbia was dotted with cannery
villages. Now only a few plants remain. In Gladys Young Blyth's new
history of the northern salmon canning industry, many remarkable
photographs- of the canneries, the fish boats, the workers- provide
glimpses of by gone days in an industry that has been of vital
significance to the development of the province. For each of the
thirty-eight canneries on the Nass and Skeena Rivers the author
gives a short history, the location, and a physical description of
the plant. Her chronology of early- day to present methods of
fishing and processing provides the reader with a clear
understanding of how the industry functioned. Who were the cannery
workers? How did they live in those isolated locations on the B.C.
north coast? These and other questions are answered in this
fascinating pictorial history.
