Ill the two following tables certain averages and percentages are shown which 
exhibit the different interests possessed by different counties. 
From the first table it is seen that the largest vessels are found in Cumberland 
County and the smallest in Waldo County. The average value is also greatest in 
Cumberland County and least in Waldo County. The average value per net ton 
ranges from $30 to $53, being greatest in Cumberland County and least in Washing- 
ton County. In Cumberland County the average number of men carried on vessels is 
nearly 10, while in Waldo County it is only 2. York County takes precedence in the 
items of average value of catch per man, per ton, and per each $100 invested, while 
in Cumberland County the average stock per vessel is much in excess of any other 
county. 
The relative value of the various fishery products in the vessel fisheries of each 
county is next shown. The greatest proportion of fresh cod is taken in Cumberland 
County, and of salt cod in Hancock County, although Sagadahoc and York counties 
are also credited with a considerable percentage of fresh cod, and in all the counties 
but Waldo the proportional value of salt cod is greater than that of any other species. 
York County leads in the relative value of fresh haddock ; Knox in salt haddock, and 
fresh and salt hake; Sagadahoc in fresh herring and mackerel; Waldo in salt her- 
ring; Lincoln in salt mackerel and menhaden; Cumberland in fresh pollock, halibut, 
and swordfish; and York in cusk and lobster.
