The fishing industry has always been important to Britain. From the
deepsea trawlers to the traditional craft that sailed around the
coast, the harbours of the West Coast, Irish Sea and Bristol
Channel were once full of craft, large and small, which employed
men and women in their thousands. The third volume of Mike Smylie's
Fishing Industry Through Time covers from the Solway Firth all the
way to Hartland Point in Devon. Fishing was not just about the
boats involved but also the people and Mike Smylie gives an insight
into the lives of those who worked the boats, who repaired the nets
and who gutted and sold the fish. From the mighty trawling port of
Fleetwood to salmon fishing on the River Dee, from herring to
prawns and cockles, he gives us a rare insight into an almost-lost
industry that once employed huge numbers.
