William James Emberley (June 26, 1876 – June 10, 1937) of Bay de Verde, Newfoundland (now Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), the son of Joseph Emberley and Jane Emberley (Russell), was a fisherman who experienced the hunger and plight of the Newfoundland fishermen during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The collapse of international markets made it difficult to sell fish at any price, and for years many Newfoundlanders lived on the government dole of six cents a day.
