Summary
[edit]DescriptionTV-009-0508 (15580079427).jpg |
Port au Choix, Newfoundland. Seen here from across Gargamelle Cove, Port au Choix is a fairly large town of 850 citizens. Settled in the very early 20th Century after some 350 years of its harbour being known to Europeans, its name comes from the Basque "Portutxoa", or "the little port". Later on, after the French were granted fishing rights off Newfoundland's west coast in 1713, the name was Gallicized to its current spelling ("Port aux Choix" is also recorded). Despite the collapse of the North Atlantic cod stocks in the early 1990s, the fishery remains the cornerstone of Port au Choix's economy in the present day - the town boasts a sizable fleet which catches mackerel, herring, and other species, as well as a large shrimp processing plant - and the Port au Choix National Historic Site is an archaeological treasure trove bearing remnants of four different pre-Columbian cultures. Port-au-Choix, Terre-Neuve. Vu ici depuis l'autre côté de l'anse Gargamelle, Port-au-Choix est un village assez grand de 850 citoyens. Colonisé très tôt pendant le XXe siècle suite de 350 années pendant lesquelles son port était connues chez les Européens, son nom provient du mot basque «Portutxoa», ou «le petit port». Plus tard, après ce que les Français ont été accordés des droits de pêche au large de la côtes occidentale de Terre-Neuve en 1713, le nom a été francisé à son orthographe actuelle («Port-aux-Choix» est aussi enregistré). Malgré l'effondrement des stocks de morue de l'Atlantique Nord au début des années 1990, la pêche demeure la pierre angulaire de l'économie de Port-au-Choix en nos jours - le village dispose d'une flotte importante qui attrape les maquereaux, les harengs, et d'autres espèces, ainsi que d'une grande usine de transformation de crevettes - et le Lieu historique national de Port-au-Choix est un trésor archéologique qui contient les restes de quatre cultures précolombiennes. Port au Choix, Terranova. Visto aquí desde el otro lado de la Cala Gargamelle, Port au Choix es un pueblo bastante grande de 850 ciudadanos. Colonizado muy yemprano en el siglo XX tras unos 350 años durante los cuales su puerto se conocía entre los europeos, su nombre proviene de la palabra vasca "Portutxoa", o "el puerto pequeño". Más tarde, tras que los franceses se les concedieron los derechos de pesca frente a la costa occidental de Terranova en 1713, el nombre se afrancesó a su ortografía actual ("Port aux Choix" se enregistra también). A pesar del colapso de la población de bacalao en al Atlántico Norte al principio de los años 1990, la pesca es todavía el pilar de la economía de Port au Choix hoy en día - el pueblo cuenta con una flota de tamaño considerable que atrapa verdeles, arenques, y otras especies, así como una gran fábrica de transformación de camarones - y el Sitio Histórico Nacional de Port au Choix es un tesoro arqueológico que lleva los restos de cuatro culturas precolombinas diferentes. |
