This book analyzes the British Newfoundland fishery trade in the late 18th century, particularly the growing tensions between British fishers coming from Great Britain and local fishers permanently inhabiting the island. The author details legislation, technological advancements, and changing international markets as contributing to the decline of the trade during a time of peace. Arguments center around the need for a balance between the interests of British merchants, who wished to preserve the fiscal advantages of the fishery for their countrymen, and the burgeoning population of Newfoundlanders who wished to capitalize on their own industry. The author concludes that intervention by the British government is needed to resolve the inequities that threaten the industry.
