173.Captain Josh Fournier with His Boat and Fishing Outfit,Fast 1
Marion,ca. 1902.When Francis Fournier first emigrated from France to
Southampton during the American Revolution, the family name was er-
roneously spelled Tornay"by Anglosaxon officials.Josh Fournier was a direct
descendant of this family,many of whom are now buried in a private cemetery
at Red Creek. Captain Fournier was, like many East Marion men, a trap
fisherman. A trap usually consisted of a long"leader"net, placed perpen-
dicular to the shore and supported by poles driven into the bay bottom,and a
net enclosure at its offshore end.This net intercepted schools of fish moving
along the beach which tended to head out along the leader into the net
enclosure-Men came out to the trap,closed off the entrance and scooped out
the fish, Some of the East Marion trap fishermen migrated as far north as
Maine in the spring, sending their baled-up nets and ropes by rail and buying
new poles locally to set up their traps.In the fall and winter,they might go as
far south as the St-Johns River in Florida. (Photograph by Hal B.Fullerton;
