Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine

Book cover
Walter Herbert Rich (1866-1948) was the American author of Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine (1929). "Paralleling the northeastern coast line of North America lies a long chain of fishing banks-a series of plateaus and ridges rising from the ocean bed to make comparatively shallow soundings. From very early times these grounds have been known to and visited by the adventurers of the nations of western Europe-Northman, Breton, Basque, Portuguese, Spaniard, Frenchman, and Englishman. For centuries these fishing areas have played a large part in feeding the nations bordering upon the Western Ocean, and the development of their resources has been a great factor in the exploration of the New World.
