Les Terre Neuvas, 1952
The photographs of Anita Conti, the only woman to have accompanied the legendary terre-neuvas in 1939 and 1952, tell the story of this great fishery, which has totally disappeared today. We discover a convict’s job, which trained men for several months on the trawlers, jostled by the wind and the waves, in the coldness of the North Atlantic, at the edge of the ice banks.
