Excerpt from State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: Twenty-Eighth Annual Report of the Commissioners of Inland Fisheries, Made to the General Assembly, at Its January Session, 1898 Menhaden have been very abundant in sections, and the catch runs higher than for several years. Although I have not the full statistics, I think the catch for the entire coast will exceed fish, or barrels. There was a very large body of fish on the coast from Cape Cod to Eastport, Me.. And large catches were made by those having factories there. A large body of these fish came into our bays in July and remained about forty days. Good catches were made by those running their factories, but most of the Rhode Island boats were in Maine, where the fish were fatter and more valuable. The Connecticut and New York boats had good fishing in Long Island Sound, Gard ner's Bay and along the coast, and made excellent catches. In Delaware Bay, the fishing was as good as could be desired, and large catches were made by all the boats, and the same was true of the Chesapeake Bay and North Carolina coast. About gallons of oil have been made, with tons of dry fish scrap, and tons of oiled fish scrap. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
