Book Description
Excerpt from A Review of the Fishery Industries of the United States and the Work of the U. S. Fish Commission The first American colony, planted at Jamestown in 1609, owed its permanence chiefly to the abundance of fish and oysters in the adjacent rivers. Its founder, Captain John Smith, was the pioneer of the American fisheries, and in his writings devotes many pages to the discussion of the methods by which they should be carried on. He was a practical fisherman, for his vessel in 1614 took 47,000 fish off the coast of Maine. He realised thoroughly the value of his spoils. "And is it not pretty sport," wrote he, "to haul up two pence, six pence, and twelve pence as fast as you can hale and veare a line? He is a very bad fisher cannot kill in one day with his hooke and line, one, two or three hundred cods." The colonists whom he planted on the shores of the Chesapeake have handed his precepts faithfully down to their descendants, who are to-day hauling pence up out of the water faster than their forefathers ever learned to do. The fisheries of the Chesapeake region yielded in 1880 a product valued at nearly eight and one-half million dollars. The Massachusetts colonies were founded with still more special reference to the fisheries. We are told in Winslow's "Briefe Narrative of the True Grounds and Causes of the First Planting of New England," that when the Puritans sent agents from Leyden to King James to gain his consent to their going to America, the King at once asked "what profit might arise." They answered in a single word, "Fishing." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States, Vol. 4: Prepared Through the Co-Operation of the Commissioner of Fisheries and the Superintendent of the Tenth Census; The Fishermen of the United States The salmon and other fisheries of Puget Sound are prosecuted chiefly by the aid of Indian fishermen. In Alaska, where the population depends almost entirely upon the fisheries for sup port, the head of every family is a professional fisherman. Though upon a very low estimate one fourth of the inhabitants of Alaska should be considered as fishermen, few of them catch fish for the use of others than their own immediate dependents. Only one Chinaman has as yet enrolled himself among the fishermen of the Atlantic coast, but in California and Oregon there are about of these men, all of whom, excepting about 300, are employed as factory hands in the salmon canneries of the Sacramento and Columbia basins. The 300 who have the right to be classed among the actual fishermen live, for the most part, in California, and the product of their industry is, to a very great extent, exported to China, although they supply the local demands of their countrymen resident on the Pacific coast.
