Bill Bonyun
In 1936 Bill Bonyun arrived Lunenburg determined to write a great novel. He talked his way onto the schooner Arthur J. Lynn and was hired as “flunky’s assistant”. Many friends were made and many pictures were taken, including this photograph of oxen hauling salted cod on the Lunenburg waterfront. Though the book was never finished, Mr. Bonyun went on to have a notable career as a collector and performer of New England folk music. This year, the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic welcomed Mr. Bonyun’s original photo album into the Provincial Fisheries Collection.
