Friendly Haven, Port Dover, Ontario, by Nicholas Hornyansky
"Fishing craft and tugboats seek shelter from a fall blow in Port Dover’s ancient river mouth. Colourful cloud caravans cast their passing shadows over battered piers, fishers’ huts, and the manifold paraphernalia of a tough, often tragic, watercraft profession."
Still only a village of 2,500 inhabitants, Port Dover is home to what is said to be the largest fresh water fleet in the world.
The wistful Lynn river on the eastern side provides an excellent harbour for the fishing fleet. The tubby, little white and wind coloured vessels bob against the docksides like friendly kittens against their master’s legs.
The sight is peaceful and reassuring, for few tasks in the world have resisted change so persistently as the fishing industry. The men who set out from Port Dover use primarily the same methods used in Biblical day, and are as dependant on the bounties of Nature. To see them - bronzed and patient - mending their nets, we realize they are a link with a serene past. (c 1930’s)
