Photographer Milton Moore presented a gallery talk to open “Working Men, Working Boats,” an exhibition of his work that told a visual tale of New England’s fishing industry changed by time, on Oct. 4 in Bemidji State University’s Talley Gallery.

Moore shot the photos while working as a photographer for the Cape Cod Times, living and fishing in the port of Chatham.

“These images reflect were two very different communities and fisheries: The small-boat, solitary Yankee endeavor that was Chatham inshore fishery, and the ancestral dragger fleet of Provincetown, with boats manned by Portuguese brothers, cousins and the father-in-law visiting from Madeira,” he said.
