THE VESSEL FISHERIES. 
The vessel fisheries of Maine, while of considerable importance, are much less 
extensive than the shore fisheries, so far as the results of the industry are concerned. 
Their specially prominent feature is the large number of vessels of small size fishing 
on shore grounds. The herring and lobster fisheries are more important than in any 
other State. The mackerel fleet is relatively large. The vessels fishing for cod on the 
great offshore banks are comparatively few in number, but include some of the finest 
schooners in the New England fleet. 
In the following tables the vessel fisheries are exhibited from four points of view, 
viz, by counties, by customs districts, by apparatus, and by fisheries. 
Three tables give the details by counties. Vessels are employed in all the coast 
counties, eight in number. 
The first table shows that of 2,680 persons in this branch, 2,515 were on fishing 
vessels and 165 on fishery transports. Cumberland County leads all others in the 
number of vessel fishermen, 857 persons, or 32 per cent, being credited to it. This is
