With illustrations and descriptions of the boats, nets, and other gear in use, by Edmund W. H. Holdsworth. Fisheries -- Great Britain; Fishing boats. FISHING STATIONS—IRELAND. 393 opportunity of closely examining and sailini^ in at Moville near the entrance to Lough Foylc. The. Ikisii Fi.'^uiNG Yawl. largest of these yawls is about 24 feet on the keel with 6 feet beam, and they carry two spritsails and sometimes a jib. Good well-shaped oars are used with them, and they row and sail well, although a little tender down to a certain point. Drifting for herrings goes on within the lough, and there are several oyster beds, both public and private, which give employment to the fishermen in winter. The ready communication by steamer with England and Scotland provides the means of sending away soles and such other fish as may be in demand there. All restrictions to trawling in the loughs on the north and north-east coasts are now removed, and the result has been such as to encourage the Inspectors to continue the repeal of prohibitions in other places. Belfast Lough presents no points of difference in respect to its fisheries from what is done farther north; but there is some increase in the number of small trawlers working there. At Strangford and Carlingford there are oyster beds of considerable extent, and the herring fishery off the coast is important, but it is mostly carried on by strange boats. Ardglass, however, has several good boats, and is the principal station for landing the fish at; thence it is sent bv steamers to Ardrossan. Grreen-.
