From 1900 to 1974, men traveled on large ships from mainland Portugal to fish for cod off the coast of Newfoundland and Greenland.Cod was such a valuable commodity, that men could avoid military conscription by “enlisting” as part of the White Fleet.

Fishing crews graciously opened up their world to the artists, allowing them to experience first hand what it takes to be a fisherman in New Bedford.
