Martin Wilcoxs concise and informative guide to the fishing industry will be absorbing reading for anyone who wants to learn about its history or find out about the life a fisherman and his family. In a clear and accessible way he takes readers through the technical, economic and social aspects of the story. He gives a graphic account of the development of the British fisheries through the medieval period and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The themes and issues that family and local historians will need to understand in order to pursue their research are a key part of the study. He introduces the reader to the variety of national and local records that are available for genealogical research and considers the many other resources that can yield fascinating information about the industry and those who worked in it. REVIEWS ...an excellent book...should be added to any British Isles genealogical research collection. FGS Forum

Table of Contents

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I should like to thank Rupert Harding and his colleagues at Pen and Sword for their assistance and support, and Simon Fowler for his invaluable advice. Thanks are also due to Elizabeth Stone, who edited the text.

My interest in fishing history began during my time as a postgraduate student in the Maritime Historical Studies Centre of the University of Hull, and from there I should like to thank Drs David J. Starkey, Robb Robinson and Richard Gorski for their assistance, as well as John Nicholls and Michaela Barnard. I am especially grateful for permission to use images from the collection of the late Dr Basil Greenhill.

I must also acknowledge support from my colleagues at Greenwich Maritime Institute, who have allowed me the time to research this book and provided much appreciated advice, especially Professors Sarah Palmer and Roger Knight, and Glyn Williams, Suzanne Bowles and James Davey.

Numerous institutions have been most helpful, and I should particularly like to thank staff at the National Archives, North-East Lincolnshire Archives and Brixham Heritage Museum, and also Jerry Michell of the National Maritime Museum. Hugh Murphy, editor of the Mariners Mirror , kindly gave permission for me to reproduce images.

Finally, I should like to acknowledge the practical assistance given by Jeff Sutton and Martin Jury, and the moral support of many other friends by whom it has been a pleasure to be distracted from the writing.

Responsibility for any errors and omissions is, of course, my own.
