 cial Wharf, Boston, is the great depot in New England where 

 fresh sea fish — cod, haddock, and others of the Gadidce, as 

 well as mackerel, herring, &c. — are landed and shipped by 

 rail to various parts of the United States and Canada. In 

 former years it used to have a monopoly of the fresh halibut 

 trade, but now that branch of the fishery finds its principal 

 market at Gloucester, which is the only New England port 

 that has a large fleet engaged in this business.
