St. John's, Newfoundland, c1900. Creator: Unknown

St. John's, Newfoundland, c1900. Fishing rights in Canada. This island - the oldest colony of Great Britain, which came into our possession in 1583 by occupation - was formally declared by the Treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, to belong, as a right, wholly to Great Britain, and Frenchmen prohibited from resorting to its shores "except for the one purpose of fishery"...France translated the right to "catch and dry fish" as including the right to "trap and can lobsters", whereas a lobster is not a fish, and canning is not drying'. From "Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX". [Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris, New York & Melbourne]
