- ghaff 9y agoI happened to be researching this for a book a few months back. I noticed at the time that article on Wikipedia appears to be missing a bit of history although much of that missing information actually appears elsewhere on Wikipedia (and is sourced). Canning seems to have originated with the Dutch navy in the mid-1700s and there was a small salmon canning industry in Holland by the end of that century.
