The Daily Dispatch: January 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], Seizure of Northern fishing Vessels in Florida waters. (search)
Seizure of Northern fishing Vessels in Florida waters. --Considerable excitement has been occasioned at Mystic, Conn., by a report that the schooner B. Fowler, Capt. J. Eldredge, and the schooner Osceola, Captain R. Burrows, both of this port, now on a fishing trip off the Florida coast, have been seized and confiscated by the State of Florida, providing heavy penalties against any persons, not citizens of that State, engaging in certain kinds of fishing within nine miles of the coast. The law has been for many years a dead letter, and has only recently been attempted to be enforced. Capt. Eldredge has been imprisoned, but released on ball. The schooner Christiana, Capt. Wilcox, of Noank, was at sea at the last accounts, but expected to arrive soon, when she was to be seized by the same authority.
