Nick Pohlman dies on Gabriola Island
The fishing community has lost a well liked member, The Fisherman learned belatedly this week, by the death of Nicholas (Nick) Pohlman at his Gabriola Island home on April 23.
Born in the Ukrainian city of Odessa in 1906, he came to this country as a boy with his parents and grew up on the family farm in Ontario.
Like many of his generation, he rode the rods during the depression years, taking whatever jobs he could find. He worked as a whistlepunk in the woods and as a miner and then, in the mid-thirties, he entered the fishing industry.
Fishing out of Bella Coola, he learned the rudiments of his new calling from Andrew Fredericksen, now an honorary member of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union living at Ocean Falls, and acquired the
Nada, the first of the three boats he was to own during some 35 years as a gillnetter and troller.
His second boat was the Prospector No. 1, with which he was fishing out of Namu in 1945 when he joined the UFAWU as a foundation member. That was also the year he met and married his wife, Katherine, who was working at the Namu plant.
His last boat was the Donnie June, which he had fitted out in readiness for the 1972 salmon season after completing his new home at the north end of Gabriola Island the previous year.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by one son, James E. Pohlman in Toronto; two stepsons, Donald Routh in Ucluelet and Ted Routh in Kingcombe Inlet, both former fishermen; and two brothers, John and William Pohlman in Windsor, Ontario.
Veteran Frank Silvey stricken on grounds
The father of a well known Deep Bay family died last month as he had lived, fishing the Strait of Georgia waters from which he had wrested a a living over the past six decades.
Francis Joseph (Frank) Silvey, 71, succumbed to a heart attack on June 17 while fishing in Lambert Channel. His wife, Mrs. Violet Silvey, who was with him at the time, brought their 31-foot Francis Point back to Deep Bay after her husband was stricken.
Born at Chemainus, the son of Joseph and Marie Silvey, the industry veteran began fishing with his father as a boy and was skippering a seiner before he was out of his teens.
During his long career, he worked in virtually all sections of the industry, as a seiner, troller, long-liner, ten derm an, gillnetter and cod fisherman. His three sons, all members of the UFAWU, also fish out of Deep Bay where their father settled many years ago.
Funeral services were held at Courtenay preceding burial at Qualicum Cemetery on June 21.

Surviving members of the family include his wife, Violet, three sons, Ronald, Frank and Ray, all of Deep Bay, and grandchildren Chris, Kim, Danny, Lorilee and Raymond.
U.S. catch record set
WASHINTON — U.S. commercial fishermen caught five billion pounds of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic animals and plants last year. Total landed value of their catch was $643 million, the highest dollar value in history. Although the landed value was five percent higher than the previous year, however, the volume increased by only one percent .
Landings for food comsumption were 2.4 billion pounds, a decline of four percent from 1970. Landings of fish used for industrial purposes, such as fishmeal and oil, increased by seven percent, totalling 2.6 billion pounds.
Shrimp landings set a record, but tuna catches, excluding landings in Puerto Rico, were down 12 percent, and salmon landings declined 24 percent in comparison with the previous year.
Philip M. Roedel, director of the National Marine Fisheries Service, reported the annual per capita consumption of edible fishery products declined from 11.8 in 1970 to 11.2 pounds in 1971.
Gulf states' landing of menhaden, an industrial fish, and landings of shrimp along the Pacific coast, mainly in Alaska, were the largest on record. Declines were noted in landings of anchovies, haddock, halibut, Pacific perch, swordfish, whiting, surf clams, and dungeness crabs.
Value of fishery products processed in the U.S. from both domestic and imported raw materials was a record of $1.85 billion, seven precent above 1970.
