Main Author: Braye, Crystal
Other Authors: Feltham, Samuel L., Sam Feltham was born on Deer Island, Bonavista Bay on March 3, 1928. He learned how to build boats as a young boy, by watching older men while they built boats to use in the fisheries. He built his first full-size Rodney at the age of fifteen, the same year he went to work as a cook on a vessel in the Labrador fishery.
