Offshore fleet reports and storm impacts at wharf
Eight offshore trips were recorded with the Catherine and Ellen and Raymah among late arrivals not reporting fares. The Lillian led with 92,000 pounds of ground fish including 75,000 haddock as weather affected sailing. Haddock and cod prices fell while total receipts reached 611,700 pounds of mixed fish. The Hardwick faced a 54 hour crossing from Clementsport in a blizzard and Captain Berry was thrown from his bunk. The Glooscap and Timandra races to Buenos Ayres hinge on departure times, and the Romanby arrived with wool and hides. Custom House totals show higher imports this week than last year, while exports lag. The City of Bangor set for four weekly trips with City of Rockland.
