Big Day at T wharf as 41 vessels enter amid storm
A southeasterly storm drove 41 ships to T wharf in a busy day. Most came from shore fisheries with lively bidding and solid prices. Haddock and cod sales set the tone while the Otto trawler Spray completed its second trip amid rough seas and a near-micap loss of catch. The Mary Edith honored a crewman’s death by flying her ensign at half mast as captains and brokers managed a heavy, varied fare across multiple vessels and routes.
