(22) Notes kept by Mrs. Mary Maclnnis of St. Peters , document what Anthony took with him on his voyage: He had her painted and fitted out in first class condition: furnished with anchor, binnacle and compass, charts, and all necessary equipment for navigation purposes. He put on board a quantity of oil for his engine; also water and provisions for the voyage.

After his wife died, he moved to Naufrage and fished until his voyage to . Anthony's niece Margaret Lewis , who grew up in Ashton , recalled: There were three-Sea Captains in my father's family, all of whom were captains of vessels.

As the numbers offish depleted, fishermen were forced to go to deeper waters, which required bigger boats. By 1915, the introduction of marine engines had revolutionized the industry. In 1910, 166 inshore boats were equipped with gasoline engines; by 1914 his number has rose to 1,170. (25) The Fishermen's Union of PEI was formed in 1924. With new engines and bigger boats, and more sophisticated equipment, the industry boomed. In 1955 George Palmer had a thirty- five foot boat built in North Lake at Irving Bakers . George's son, Michael, recalled that people waited around all day to see the boat completed as it was considered "a vessel back then."
