Additional Details:
Gloucester is the largest fishing port in the U. S. since 1860, and the chief center if the fresh and salt fish industry. Its prosperity has increased with the demand, and the business has developed enormously. Cod, halibut, haddock, herring, and mackeral are caught in vast quantities by trawl and seine. Over 6,000 men and 500 vessels are engaged in these fisheries
