Description

Photograph of a view of a salmon cannery in Astoria, Oregon, [s.d.]. In the foreground, water covers the surface area while showing two rows of boats which appear to be Columbia River gill netters. Next to the boats, in the left foreground, several wooden ladders are noticeable along a wooden dock sitting above the water. The dock runs from the left to the right background; men next to a series of fishing nets can be seen on the dock. A large building is also observable on it, with a sign that says: "Saml. ELMORE".; Houses are viewable in the right background and additional boats are visible in the left. A vegetated hillside serves as the backdrop.; Gill netters "were often towed in long strings out to the grounds by a power boat ... and then cut loose to commence fishing" -- Dave McFadden, the USC Digital Library patron.
