11 images. Newport fish market, 1955. Mrs. Mildred van Rider; Mrs. Emilie McCarthy; Mrs. Melba Brewer; Miss Glenda Dodson; Carl Marberry; Mrs. William Rubidoux; Mrs. Tom Sanders; Henry Phegley.; Supplementary material reads: "Picturesque beside the Newport pier, the dory fishermen are visited daily by customers who drive for many miles to buy the freshly caught fish. Waiting customers and fellow fishermen alike are helpful in rolling the dories up the beach to their positions in the market. There's always something to be done in the long hours of a dory fisherman's day. Baiting, repairing of lines, waiting on customers or getting the rid ready for tomorrow keeps the fishermen and their families busy. The beach next to the Newport Beach pier is reserved for the dory men and their equipment. Small sheds on one side are used to store much of their gear, while the baiting tables and boats are left out. There's much to talk about between the fishermen and their customers. Mrs. Mildred Van Rider cleans a halibut for Mrs. Emilie McCarty of Newport Beach, Mrs. Melba Brewer of Santa Ana and Miss Glenda Dodson of Costa Mesa. Van Rider busies himself with washing off the catch before placing them on the display shelves.; Supplementary material continues: "There's not much between a dory fisherman and a storm. The boats, just under 16 ft. in length, are specially made for this type of fishing. Henry Phegley, center, rolls his dory out of the surf onto the wooden rollers with the help of Mrs. Tom Sanders and interested bathers. Cooperation among the fishermen is one of the unwritten codes of the tradition. Much interest is shown by customers and idle passers by in the cleaning operation. Deft hands and sharp knives quickly prepare the fish for the skillet, broiler or oven. Mrs. Tom Sanders takes care of customers anxious to make their pick of the 'buying' size rock cod. Many customers select their own fish from the bottom of the boat before the catch is on the display shelves. T

Unrestricted, Sea lions have been around for about 12 million years, but lately, they are moving into human territory in Newport Harbor. Boat owners, residents and fishermen are sick of having to duke it out for turf in this posh part of town. -- But perhaps sea lions are showing up for good reasons -- the harbor is safe, and the food supply good. And while people complain about their loud barking, unsavory hygienics, and their ability to steal a fisherman's catch, humans are harming them at an alarming rate.
