With the exception of the Ocean Queen and Shamrock, the shadboats of Cobequid Bay are gone. The last fishermen, Russel Cooke and Karl Spencer, ended their fishing careers in 1994 when the last shad license for Cobequid Bay was issued. Thus ended a way of life which had sustained many families for one hundred and fifty years.
