The Lunenburg salt fishing fleet landed 218,060 quin- tals valued at $1,635,505 during the season just closed. The average catch per vessel was 2.060 quintals. The fish sold at $7.10 for the spring catch and $7.80 for the summer. The schooners James Burton Cook, Captain Abram Cook, and Delawana, Captain Ben- jamin Cook, were both high-line with 3,800 quintals each for the season. The 1916 season is a record considering that fewer vessels were engaged, and though the catch was below that of other years, yet the .stocks made and the fisher- mens shares are considerably higher than previously — the crews of some vessels sharing over $700 each for the five months fishing. One vessel, the Lucille M. Schnare was lost by col- lision off Newfoundland. Seven men were drowned from the fleet during the season.
