From Baird Maritime For the best part of a century, until the 1950s, the British fishing industry was the world leader. Sadly, the last half-century has seen it decline to practical non-existence. This brilliant collection of 120 high quality photographs, fortunately, records the industry’s heyday. Joined together by simple clear text it provides a first class record of a once important industry. While not completely all-encompassing it still captures the feeling and ambience of the industry. The people, the boats, their equipment, the markets, the towns, everything is memorably and very atmospherically described. find this book of great value.
