The history covers the period leading up to WWI, the Great Depression, WWII (when several company vessels were taken over for naval service) and the era of technological change up to the 1980s. The book is also a tribute to the many people, ashore and afloat. who played a part in the development of a major fishing enterprise, which still trades today.
