P93-CH-92
Reference number: P93-CH-92

Place : Saint Andrews
Date : 1952

The lobster fishery is an important industry in New Brunswick. The first lobster processing plant opened in 1876. Workers in those plants put lobster pieces in cans after manually breaking the shell. Today's lobster plants turn out a wide choice of lobster products. The markets carry frozen lobster, whole lobster or lobster pieces, shelled lobster, cooked lobster, and so on. Seen in this 1952 photo: a man handling a lobster in the Conley Plant in Saint Andrews.
