Harwich Fishing Venture Figures and History
A long-winded account traces the Harwich fisheries from 1730, detailing vessel sizes from 37 to 67 tons, the heavy costs of building and outfitting, and the roles of fathers, sons, and investors in long and hand line fishing. It notes war impacts, insurance difficulties, market behavior at Billingsgate, and the potential growth of British fisheries postwar, with references to Turbot trade policy and historical committees.
