History of Maine Fisheries

The log records various at least one fishing voyage to the Grand Banks and what appear to be coasting trips along the Maine and greater New England coast with much reference to weather conditions, as well as some account of daily catch for individual crew members. Maine ports mentioned include Bangor, Orland, Frankfort and Castine. Other ports include Greenwich, R.I.; Baltimore, Md.; and Boston, Ma. Francis Sparks, Master, is the only captain mentioned.
