37-41 A Conception Bay Highway, Lakeview, Newfoundland & Labrador A0A 2P0

LAKE VIEW, HR. MAIN, NL...The early settlers of Lakeview earned their living primarily by fishing, participating in the shore fishery, the Banks fishery and the Labrador fishery. Since most fish was sold for credit, not cash, and there was little manufactured in the country, people supplemented what they earned from the fishery by planting gardens and by wooding, foraging and hunting. The gardens produced enough root vegetables and hay to feed family and some livestock, usually including a horse. Settlers kept a few hens and sheep, maybe a pig, and along with rabbits, partridge, turs, and occasionally a seal, the diet would have been monotonous but adequate. Cutting and hauling wood, for which a horse was almost essential, produced longers for fences and flakes, timber for houses and sheds, and fuel for heat and cooking. Beginning in the 1890s, men from Conception Bay Centre began to migrate annually to New York to work in high steel. The work was hard and dangerous but compared to working on open boats in the North Atlantic, it was well paid, and it used the skills in rigging and hauling that the fishery had taught so well.

The early inhabitants of Lakeview made their living primarily through fishing, engaging in various types of fishery such as shore fishery, Banks fishery, and Labrador fishery. As most of the fish was traded for credit rather than cash, and there was limited manufacturing in the region, people supplemented their income from fishing by cultivating gardens, woodcutting, foraging, and hunting. The gardens yielded root vegetables and hay to sustain the family and some livestock, typically including a horse. In addition to a few hens and sheep, settlers also kept rabbits, partridges, turs, and occasionally a seal, resulting in a somewhat monotonous but sufficient diet. Woodcutting and hauling, for which a horse was almost indispensable, provided materials for fences, timber for buildings and sheds, and fuel for heating and cooking.

Starting in the 1890s, men from Conception Bay Centre began migrating annually to New York to work in high steel. Although the work was strenuous and perilous, it was well compensated compared to working on open boats in the North Atlantic, and it utilized the rigging and hauling skills acquired from the fishery. It was a choice between "staying and starving or finding work elsewhere."
