Trawler Fishermen

On the Grand Banks of Newfoundland this film shows the new machinery and electronic gear employed on modern fishing boats. The trawler shown is the open-stern type, which allows full nets to be dragged easily from the sea and then lifted to spill the silvery catch into the cleaning troughs.

Directed by Martin Defalco  - 1966 | 22 min
