Flakes and Stages
Around the shoreline at Bonavista there are scattered remnants of structures that were vital to codfishing - flakes and stages. Flakes are wooden platforms covered with spruce or fir poles and stages - primitive wooden buildings (frequently built over the water) that were essential to fishermen for landing, splitting, salting and drying their catches of codfish.
