IRON LADY WEIR A crewman aboard the herring pumper Greta & Sons’ catching a bow line from the approaching herring carrier Starthburn. Together, their task will be to tie-up inside the Iron Lady Weir and pump out the entrapped herring for transport to the Connors Bros. processing plant at Blacks Harbour. A familiar site around Grand Manan when the herring are running, the act of seining a weir is a static approach to harvesting fish, but effective nonetheless.
