Add to ORKGhalfThe term "half-ya-hand"... before the decline of the Labrador fishery (1949) the system of sharing a voyage (fish load) was "half-ya-hand." It meant that half of the voyage went for the schooner and the other was divided among the crew, of which the captain was included. The Captain got a crew share because he did not necessarily own the schooner.JH 10/71Used I and SupNot usedNot usedThis card is marked as being used in the DNE but slip contents do not appear
