West Coast Troller West Coast Troller by Rob Elphinstone
11″ x 17″ Oils on canvas, framed
$1000

This is a small ‘double ender’, a kind of wooden troller that was common among the fishermen in the area before the second world war. The small pilot house and trunk cabins gave way to larger west coast wheelhouses and increasingly larger hulled boats. These are still very seaworthy boats and it’s a great pleasure for me to see them actively fishing…. this is where wild pacific salmon come from.
