Cod collapse : the rise and fall of Newfoundland's saltwater cowboys / Jenn Thornhill Verma. by Thornhill Verma, Jenn. Nimbus Publishing, 2019. Call #: 971.8040922 T512c Subjects Thornhill Verma, Jenn -- Family.   Thornhill Verma, Jenn.   Cod fisheries -- Newfoundland and Labrador -- History.   Fishers -- Newfoundland and Labrador -- Biography.   Newfoundland and Labrador -- Biography.   Newfoundland and Labrador -- Economic conditions. ISBN:  9781771088077 (pbk.) Description:  264 p. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "In 1992, the cod moratorium put some thirty thousand fishers across Newfoundland and Labrador out of work. These were journalist Jenn Thornhill Verma's people. Encompassing memoir and history, Cod Collapse traces a lost way of life, digging into the stories of the author's own family, including her Pop, one of the province's original 'saltwater cowboys,' a fisher on the southeastern shores of Newfoundland. This thoughtfully researched and captivating account reveals how Newfoundlanders from many walks of life, and from distinct regions across the island portion of the province, have coped in the aftermath of the largest mass layoff in Canadian history. Integrating the varied and compelling stories of a whale-watcher, a singer-songerwriter, a fisher, and a photographer, this moving narrative deftly takes readers from the present back to the early days of the fishery, and forward to consider what lies ahead."--From publisher.
