INVESTMENT 



Ten sailing vessels and six power vessels were engaged in fishing, 

 while two sailing vessels and nine power A T essels were employed in 

 transporting. One hundred and seven power vessels, each under 5 

 net tons, and 356 dories were employed in all branches of the 

 fisheries. With the exception of a few trawl lines used in the Alaska 

 vessel fishery, hand lines were employed. California leads in the 

 total investment, followed by Alaska and Washington in the order 

 named. The high value of the investment in Alaska is due to the 

 number of shore stations located there.
