Captain Morrissey: Your Online Seafood Market

It all started back in 1894 when Captain William Edward Morrissey, originally from Lower East Pubnico, Nova Scotia, had a fishing schooner built in Essex, Massachussetts.  The Effie M. Morrissey was that schooner.

In 1895, with Captain William Morrissey not being able to skipper the vessel due to illness, his son Clayton took command of the Effie M. Morrissey, named after his sister at the age of 19 years.

The Effie M. Morrissey, under Captain Clayton's command, landed record trips for a fishing schooner plying the waters from the Grand Banks of Newfoundland to George's Bank east of New England.

Captain Morrissey's Seafood Market is located on the property originally owned by the Morrissey family in Lower East Pubnico and now by the Cunningham family.
