Summary:
"The Portuguese White Fleet, whose name derived from its vessels' white hulls, is an important part of
Newfoundland
and
Labrador
history
. Gaspar Corte-Real's followers had been
fishing
off the Grand Banks for more than 400 years, but it was not until the 1900s that Portuguese fishermen began persecuting the North American cod fishery in force. When these ships made calls to St. John's, the sailors and fishermen became a prominent part of the city’s way of life. However, the year 1955 marked the end of an era for the Portuguese White Fleet when Canada began to protest foreign overfishing and exploitation of its fishery. Following a bitter international dispute over territorial
fishing
grounds, the last ship of the White Fleet left St. John's on July 23, 1974. The White Fleet by J. P. Andrieux is a
pictorial
history
of the centuries-long relationship between the
Newfoundland
and Portuguese fisheries"--Provided by publisher.
