Shellfishermen Defy State Game Wardens in Bristol Harbor
In Bristol harbor, 30 to 40 out of town shell fishermen confronted two state wardens over illegally dredged quahogs. Boats tied to Church Street dock and the scene resembled a bustling water front as police intervened and the crowd dispersed without arrests. Ice threatens operations as cold weather tightens access to Narragansett Bay.
