 being an object worthy of attainment and as a means of procuring food for the people, as well 

 as a school for the navy. 



The concluding data in Lindeman's book, concerning the further development of 

 the German deep-sea fishing industry, are connected with the introduction of steam power, 

 with which the fish-auctions, instituted almost at the same time, stand in tolerably close 

 relationship. For the sake of completeness, the following brief notice on the fishery with 

 sailing vessels may be given first of ail. The numbers are taken from the summaries, 

 published in the "Mitteilungen des deutschen Seefischerei- Vereins", of the vessels engaged 

 in the deep-sea fishery of the North Sea.

exclusirel; with drift nets 



The numbers in brackets, behind the figures for 1887, 1901 and 1902, refer to the 

 vessels which have carried on the North Sea fishery from the Elbe and Schleswig- Holstein 

 coast. For the German North Sea coast, west of the mouth of the Elbe, we have therefore 

 the following: 



for 1887, 115 vessels 



- 1901, 113 - 



- 1902, 121 — 



According to the information published in the German "Seefischerei Almanach" for 

 1902 and 1903, the number of sailing boats registered on September 1st 1901, was 427, 

 and on September P' 1902, 404. If we consider that the luggers, amongst these, fished 

 exclusively with drift-nets, there remain for the other fishing methods — 310 in 1901 and 

 280 in 1902. Of these, 208 in 1901 and 189 in 1902 fished from the Elbe and the 

 Schleswig Holstein coast, and according to this, there would remain 102 in 1901 and 94 

 in 1902, registered sailing vessels for the German North Sea coast west from the mouth 

 of the Elbe. They would be distributed over the coast as follows:
