Hauling the net full of cod. The steel dragger is unidentified. Photographer was James H. Goodwin. If anyone knew him, let us know.

The cod end is hoisted over the vessels transom and deposited onto the deck.

The cod end full of cod is being positioned over the checker boards. Just look at the size of that haul compared to the fisherman below. I'd love to ID this vessel. She was steel, and the photos were taken by James H. Goodwin in the early 1950's.
