        History

        Atlas Fisheries Ltd. was founded in 1955 by Lloyd R. Crouse of Lunenburg, N.S., who became its secretary-treasurer. The company was incorporated under the Nova Scotia Companies' Act on 12 March 1956 with nominal capital of $19,000. Its first share-holders were: fishermen Samuel Corkum, Charles Mosher, Samuel Harris, Allen U. Crouse and Walter Crouse of Lunenburg County; fishing captain, C. William Leary; merchants Lloyd Crouse and Kinsman E. Crouse of Lunenburg; and accountant Sinclair Randall of Lunenburg. The company's dragger, the Linda & Jane, was registered at the shipping office in 1956. Depletion of fish stocks resulted in the dissolution of Atlas Fisheries in the mid 1960s along with two other fishing companies founded by Lloyd R. Crouse, Crouse Fisheries and Viking Fisheries.
