 chiefly in herrings, but the value is greater 

 than in 1910. There was an addition of

No fishing carried on. Fishermen, as usual, j 

 worked from the large centres. The , 

 number of steam drifters was increased ! 

 by twelve. Boat-builders were well em- ! 

 ployed, and are likely to be so for some 

 time. 



Principally a line fishing station, but fair 

 quantities of sole and plaice are caught 

 by nets. The landings are increased in 

 quantity and value.
