Fig. 3 - Cuban freezer stern trawler (Atlantik class) "Playa Giron,' Sighted during May 1969 south of Block and Nantucket Islands, (Photos - C. Philbrook, BCF.) miles east of Atlantic City, N. J., 10 to 30 miles southwest of Hudson Canyon. Limited catches appeared to be herring. Polish: Three factory stern trawlers, 25 large side trawlers, 1 factory base ship, and 5 transport vessels were sighted. During first half of month, 20-30 vessels shifted back and forth, from Long Island to south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Moderate catches were mostly herring, with some mackerel. From mid-month, 20 to 25 were dispersed from south of Nantucket tothe eastern slopes of Georges Bank. Catches were mostly herring. (A year ago, 25 to 30 Polishvessels had fished off New York, New Jersey, and southern New England.) East German: Three stern trawlers and 8 side trawlers fished among the Polish and Soviet fleets off southern New England. A few vessels were scattered off Long Island and, late in the month, along the eastern slopes of Georges Bank, herring. Catches were identified as Japanese: EarlyinMay, 2 stern trawlers fished 85 miles south of Nantucket, and 65 miles south of Montauk Point, L. I, No catches were noted and no further sightings were made. Cuban: One factory stern trawler, 'Playa Giron,'was sighted among other foreign ves- sels south of Nantucket. No catches were noted. This may be the first sustained Cuban fishery off New England. Bulgarian: A stern factory trawler was sighted in early May fishing about 80 miles southeast of Cape May. In late May, she was about 60 miles south of Martha's Vineyard. This was the first sighting of a Bulgarian fishing vessel off coasts. Bulgarian sources have been predicting the beginning of this fishery for several years. No catches were observed, but it is believed she was seeking herring and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page
