Spent most of the time on the book project "Pouch Cove, Our Home by the Sea" and the 100th anniversary of the SS Newfoundland Disaster.  Learnt a lot about the seal fishery, and also the movie, The Viking.  The film was made in 1929/30 by Varick Frissell.  The outtakes of the film were shot in Pouch Cove.  Got hold of a copy from a film distributor in the States.  Here are some stills from the outtakes.

Sealing stoires

This year is the 100 anniversary of the SS Newfoundland sealing disasters.  Ten Pouch Cove men "went to the ice" aboard the SS Newfoundland and five of them perished.  Three Jordans were amongst the deaths.  Angela Wall remembers her Uncle Steve (one of the survivors) was deeply affected by the incident because he was the one that told his brother and nephews not to go ....  I am making a video and am hoping to share that during the commemoration in March.

I have been working on the interviews and trying to do some rough editing for now.  There are numerous projects I would like to do, they are:

• If a Fish Flake Could Talk
• The Legacy of H.S. (through the research done on SUF, and Henry Sullivan's grand son's own search of his family to tell the life of H.S. if he were alive to live the life in Pouch Cove.)
• Biscayne Cove Stories

Here is a draft copy of 'If a Fish Flake Could Talk'
