Industry
Many people in Patrick's Cove work in St.Jon's, but there are
stilll some dedicated fishermen. Years ago all of the men in
the cove fished and were very successful at it. But as
the years progessed the collapse of the fishery sent many
people in search of work outside the fishery. Nevertheless
we still have some dedicated fisherman including
Mr. Robert McGrath, Mr.Gilbert McGrath, Mr.Noel
McGrath, and Mr.Iganatius McGrath. Out of a population
of 77 people, only 4 individuals gave the fishery a second
chance. The others either moved away in search of work
outside the province, or stayed within the province and
worked in St. John's.
