Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: This is the wharf at the fishing community of Fox Point that extends along the western shore of St. Margret's Bay.
In 1825, land grants of approximately 200 acres each were given to Joseph Coolen, George Joshua Coolen, William Francis Shatford, a cooper from England, and James Croucher, a native of the area. Fishing, and to a smaller extent, farming, became the main source of inome for the community. For over a century, Fox Point has been a significant fishing centre for the St. Margaret's Bay area, and Nova Scotia. Into the late 20th century, Foc Point's fishery was diverse, with catches of tuna, lobster, mackerel, haddock, cod and swordfish. Another famous ficture of the fishery at Fox Point is the Shatford Lobster Pound, which was established in 1948, and continues to sell lobster and fresh fish. Today, Fox Point's fishing fleet centers on the lobster, macherel and tunas fisheries |
