Fresh out of an early Maine, MA estate collection. Rare iconic original photograph related to Gorton’s Seafood. This came out of a collection compiled via a consultant who was doing a historical cataloguing project for Gordon decades ago. You are bidding on the photograph pictured. The photograph measures approximately 10″ x 8″. The photograph age is in the range of 1940’s to 1970’s. Please view photos as to condition and type. There may be notations and/or photographers names on back. They vary and may show employees at work, officials touring operations, advertising, etc. *Please view my other lots of these rare photographs* of this iconic historic seafood producer. Would look fantastic framed in a collection and/or retail establishment. After these there are no more. Will combine shipping. Much luck! Gorton’s Seafood, with operations in Gloucester, Massachusetts traces its roots to a fishery called John Pew and Sons, John Pew, picked up fishing after serving as a Colonial soldier in the Frnch and Indian War. While most people moved West after the war, Pew turned eastward and arrived in Gloucester, Masscahusetts, in 1755. The father-and-son fishery business emerged as an official commercial company, John Pew & Sons, in 1849.When nearby Rockport’s chief industry, the Annisquam Cotton Mill, burned down, Slade Gorton, the mill’s superintendent, was out of a job. At his wife’s urging, he began a fishing business in 1874 known as Slade Gorton & Company, and began to pack and sell salt codfish and mackerel in small kegs. This company was the first to package salt-dried fish in barrels. In 1899, the company patented the “Original Gorton Fish Cake”. In 1905, the Slade Gorton Company adopted the fisherman at the helm of a schooner (the “Man at the Wheel”) as the company trademark. Today, he is known as the Gorton’s Fisherman.In 1906, Slade Gorton & Company, John Pew & Sons, and two other Gloucester fisheries merged into the Gorton-Pew Fisheries. They made Gorton’s codfish cakes a household name in New England.The company went into the fish-freezing business in the early 1930s. In 1949, Gorton-Pew made headlines when it drove the first refrigerator trailer truck shipment of frozen fish from Gloucester to San Francisco–a trip that took eight days. In 1953, the company was the first to introduce a frozen ready-to-cook fish stick, which won the Parents Magazine Seal of Approval.In 1957, Gorton-Pew Fisheries name was changed to Gorton’s of Gloucester; in 1965, it became The Gorton Corporation, and it is now known as Gorton’s. In 1968, Gorton’s merged with General Mills, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary.
