Synopsis
This title explores more than 140 years of Scottish fishing history told through the fishermen's own memories and traditions. A companion volume to "The North Herring Fishing", it concentrates on the accounts of the earlier period when crews worked with oar and sail. Such fisheries as Donegal and Dunmore East in Ireland, Isle of Man, Firth of Forth and Whitby are explored and the hardships and dangers of both drift-net and ring-net fishing recalled. More than 50 Kintyre and Ayrshire fishermen were interviewed to produce this tribute to a vanished way of life.
