Original Toronto Star caption: At come-by-chance; a Newfoundland outport; lobsterman Jim Pevie goes about his work in much the same fashion as men of the area have done for more than 200 years. These outports are usually at the head of long coves because merchants of the 1600s forced a colonial ruling that settlers must live at least six miles from the sea. By building on the coves the early immigrants stayed six miles from the actual sea?but still kept access to it by water so that they could make their living as fishermen.
