Film Series - Inside Hovden Cannery (Canceled: Clash by Night)

Film Series - Inside Hovden Cannery (Canceled: Clash by Night)

This year is the 75th anniversary of the publication of Steinbeck’s masterpiece, Cannery Row. This little novel, written immediately after Steinbeck returned from working as a journalist overseas during World War II, captures life in 1930s Monterey as well as the ecological vision of Steinbeck and his friend Edward F. Ricketts. Cannery Row celebrates community; Steinbeck’s model was the intertidal.
 

Dive into Cannery Row, and join online presentations, discussions, and films about the history of the Row, Ricketts, ecology, friendship, and communities.

 

Tim Thomas introduces "Inside Hovden Cannery, 1943." This 20 minute film is the "best footage of the canneries that exists," notes historian Tim Thomas, who will introduce the film, the fishing industry, and the workers. Historian Kim Gudmundson will join the discussion after the film.

We acknowledge and appreciate the sponsors of Cannery Row Days: A Novel Celebration:

City of Monterey, Monterey Public Library, Cannery Row Company, Cannery Row Foundation, Western Flyer Association

 

With special appreciation to Susan Shillinglaw who graciously led the ship crew: Greg Caillet, Dennis Copeland, Tim Thomas, and Inga Waite.
