Product Description

Book Description

This is a facsimile of the 1886 edition. The author, a native of Tarbert, initially recounts the town's long history both as a harbour and as a strategic stronghold guarding the access to Kintyre, covering military activities in the area until 1745 in some detail. He then moves on to the nineteenth century, with interesting detail of the herring boom and the scenic attractions of the area.

"So far as Lochfyne is concerned, trawling has proved itself since being again legalised to be by far the more remunerative mode of capture, and the takes occasionally secured by this method are enormous. Only last season one crew, after summoning to its aid some half-a-dozen extra boats, sent to market, as the result of one haul, about 350,000 herring, or one each for considerably more than half of the entire population of Glasgow.

"In the prosecution of fishing by this method, the species of boat employed is a smart looking four-oared skiff of about 25 feet keel and 9 feet beam, carrying a jib and lug-sail...." from Chapter IX
