About this title

Synopsis

Published in 1874, this is a collection of two important reports on cod and whale fishing in colonial America. The first is a report by Thomas Jefferson, then Secretary of State, on the state of the industry and its potential for growth. The second is a report by Lorenzo Sabine on the colonial fisheries more broadly, including a detailed analysis of the principal fishing regions and their economic significance. These reports provide valuable insight into the early years of the American fishing industry, making it an essential resource for economic historians and fishing enthusiasts.
