How do we recreate a place that has been lost? Around 1505, European mariners created a vast, floating colony in the northwest Atlantic. Centered on f ishwork, the mass-production of processed fish, they called this place T erra Nova. Within a century Terra Nova would disappear, replaced by the more familiar configurations of space and imperial occupation which lay the groundwork for modern Canada. This talk will consider how we can rec over and visualize Terra Nova and the experience of fishwork in the sixt eenth century. It will first examine surviving cartographic and written evidence to show how fishwork made space, and how the geography of Terra Nova was tied to maritime labor. The talk will then consider how we can use a variety of visual evidence—maps, prints, photographs, sketc hes, petroglyphs—to recover and imagine what it looked like to spe nd a summer in Terra Nova in the sixteenth century. In combining these a pproaches, we may find new ways for environmental historians to study si tes of premodern extraction which are otherwise difficult to recover.
