'Family, fishing & faith and fun times. This is a picture of our family. Taken at Macara's Wharf, which doesn't exist anymore. It was just east of the present MacMillan Wharf. The name of the boat was the 'James M. Burke' after the original owner. John M. Silva, my grandfather, owned the boat at this time, and the whole family worked on it. Thats how my father met my mother. My grandfather was one of the few fishermen who would allow women on a boat. Pictured, from left to right: my dad Francis E. Silva, me (Patricia), my sister Pauline and my mother Mary L. Donovan Silva.'
