PACIFIC COD FISHERIES. 87 
DETAILED DATA OF THE FISHING FLEET FROM 1863 TO 10915. 
The table following shows in detail the operations of the cod- 
fishing fleet from the inception of the industry in 1863 to 1915, inclu- 
sive. The name, rig, and net tonnage of each vessel, the dates of 
her departure and return, on what ground she fished, and the num- 
ber of fish taken are all shown.* No detailed data are available for 
1866 and 1869, while the individual vessel data for 1867 and 1868 
are incomplete. From 1863 to 1890, both inclusive, the data relate 
to California exclusively. Owing to the variation in the weight 
of fish from the various grounds, and also the considerable variation 
in weight of fish from the same ground in different years, no effort 
has been made to show the weight of the catch, while the data on the 
prices realized are so fragmentary that this item also has been 
omitted, as it would be nothing but a guess at best.
