 Massachusetts Bay, 1882. (277) 1,940. U. S. Fish Commis- 

 sion. 



Dory hand-lining. 



A crayon sketch showing the crew of a Gloucester fishing schooner 

 distributed over the fishing-grounds on the Western Banks 

 and actively engaged in catching codfish with hand-lines. The 

 view shows eight dories, with one man in each, and the vessel 

 at anchor in the distance. Size, 30 by 40 inches. Washington, 

 D. C, 1882. H. W. Elliott and J. W. Collins. 



Ice-fishing. 



An India-ink drawing of fishermen engaged in fishing through the 

 ice on Lake Michigan with lines. The lines are rigged with a 

 pole and flag, the poles being set in such a way that when a 

 fish pulls the line the flag comes up, signaling to the fisher- 

 man, who is standing behind the temporary shelter to screen 

 him from the wind. Size, 30 by 40 inches. Lake Michigan, 

 1882. Henry W. Elliott. 



Shore hand-line fishing. 



A crayon sketch showing two New England fishermen engaged in 

 hand-lining for cod from a common fishing boat on the shore 

 grounds off Gloucester, Mass. Size, 30 by 40 inches. Wash- 

 ington, D. C, 1882. H. W. Elliott and J. W. Collins. 



Catching birds for bait. 



A crayon picture showing fishermen in a dory on western banks 

 catching hagdons, to be used as bait on their hand-lines in fish- 

 ing for cod. The boat is surrounded by birds which have been 

 "tolled up" by fish-lines, which the men have thrown over- 

 board to attract them. Formerly great quantities of birds were 

 taken by the Cape Cod fishermen, but of late they are seldom 

 caught, as fishermen find it more economical to take bait from 

 home or to run in to Newfoundland or Nova Scotia and buy 

 fresh herring, capelin, and squid. Size, 30 by 40 inches. Wash- 

 ington, D. C, 1882. H. W. Elliott and J. W. Collins. 



Hand-lining on George's. 



An oil painting representing a Cape Ann fishing schooner anchored 

 on George's Bank, the crew engaged in catching cod with hand- 

 lines from the vessel's deck. The view shows the vessel at 

 anchor and the spray dashing over the bow. Size, 30 by 40 inches.
