At the outset, fishing was conducted usually in sheltered waters or in relatively 

 close proximity to port. Other sailing schooners and sloops joined the fishery during 

 the next decade (Figure 21), and by the later years of the 19th century, large company- 

 owned steamers carrying ten to twelve 2-man dories had entered and dominated the 

 fishery (Figure 22).
