The Daily Dispatch: December 19, 1860., [Electronic resource], The mackerel fishery. (search)
The mackerel fishery.
--The mackerel fishery of Cohasset has closed for the season, piling the wharves with tiers of barrels of that aquarial flesh.
One of the fleet, the Harriet Torrey, retreats to her moorings proudly bearing the banner of "high boat" of Cohasset and probably of Massachusetts bay.
She has landed 1,500 barrels, and it is also claimed for her "high line." William Berdick, of C., "the championship of the bay," has caught 137 barrels with his own hook, which will clear above all expenses the snug sum of $548. We should like to hear from either of the capes of any better fishing than that.
The fleet have all done well, while some of them have made the best voyages ever brought between the rocks, the shore fishermen bearing off the palm, while the Bay Chaleur fleet were returning with rather meagre fares, with the exception of one or two.--Scituate (Mass.) Herald.
