HOME FROM THE GRAND BANKS 



The fishing industry along the North Atlantic seaboard is as old as the colonial history 

 of the continent. The fisheries rights on the Grand Banks and along the shores of Nova 

 Scotia and Newfoundland were the subject of diplomatic negotiations between the United 

 vStates and Great Britain for more than a century and a quarter and were only finally settled 

 by The Hague Tribunal in 1910.
