We remained until the following day, that we might see the fish caught. Our friend the skipper gave us a great deal of information about trawlers.  The Yarmouth fleet consists of several hundred vessels, ranging from fifty to seventy tons.  They have increased rapidly.  Fifty years ago, there were none belonging to Great Yarmouth.  They only form a small portion of English and Irish trawling vessels.  Many hundred sail leave the Thames, the Humber, Scarborough, and Lowestoft, to fish in the North Sea; while several other places send out fifty or sixty vessels to the English or Irish Channels, manned by some thousands of fishermen.  It is calculated that they supply the English markets daily with three or four hundred tons of fish.
