Fishing the Severn Sea - From Hartland Point to St Ann's Head. The
Bristol Channel, once one of the busiest fishing lanes in Great
Britain, is a compelling area of the nation's seas to discover,
with a unique range of characteristics. In this book, renowned
maritime historian Mike Smylie and Simon Cooper, expert in the
field, delve into the variety of fishing methods used in the past
and present around this coastline. The area from Hartland Point in
the south-west of England to St Ann's Head in Wales is examined in
detail, via the lower reaches of the River Severn and its estuary,
the River Wye and the south coast of Wales. Accompanied by
previously unseen photographs and drawings, the authors present a
fascinating account of the lives of the 'Severn Sea' fishermen, the
boats they used and the way they went about bringing in their
catches. Encompassing stories from the herring fishers of Clovelly
to long-netting on the Severn and the harvest of oysters off
Swansea, this book is a must for fishing enthusiasts and those with
an interest in local history.
