The PROSPECTITS.
tl 'Preeress and Improvement of the British fisheries are a
object, in which all classes of the community are interested.
nth Wealth and energies of the United Kingdom are, in other chan-
sib • ra ptaiy developing our great industrial resources, but our
ithestles remain in the same state in which they were twa centuries
;tea ur increasing population requires that every means that art
It," science can devise should be adopted, in order to procure the
117, sries of life as abundantly and cheaply as possible ; but,
1,121_11h it is well known that the seas which surround the British
10,7 !et 'm with abundance of lishAyet the supply of that article of
is t tlways uncertain, and its rice, generally high, is often ex-
Ti;ant`
st".e 1,11 itish Fisheries, if conducted on a proper system, and on a
st;,`,7, of sufficient magnitude, are capable of yielding an abundant
.of wholesome food. There is no branch of our national in-
at:trr /o which steam-power can be more advantageously and pro-
,`ll Y applied. Fishing banks as yet untouched, because they
4.,4,1be reached by the present sailing craft employed in the
111"c'e. may, by means of steam power, be made available for a vastly
acre' tsed and more regular supply of fish.
118'd therto our fisheries have been prosecuted only by the coast
~,,ut,:man in sailing vessels at particular seasons ; and the principal
;;ha a?t Of the fish caught has been cured for export, or sent to London,
the demand may be said to be almost unlimited.
the adoption of steam power, the regular and daily supply of
this article of food, in the freshest state, would be extended to the
7`4elpal ports in the United Kingdom, to be thence conveyed by
all to the cities and towns of the interior.
Ijt is admitted by the trade that the-quantity of fish is not half of
:'at which might be sold, provided the supply were regular. it is,
~Laerefore, propose] to establish the Krittsh Steam Fisheries Com-
t'ituY,. for the purpose of combining capital with skill, and, bymeans
welled steam-vessels, to develope in a manner that has never been
;;llaPlaod before the inexhaustiple resources of the sea, and to con-
),'Y the fish caught or purchased with speed and regularity to the
"tat markets.
AS a c ommercial enterprise this company presents undoubted ad-
h,4ntages ; and, while it will give constant employment to a great
t'rallY seaen and boys, in addition to those already engaged in the
~„ade. it ismcalculated that it will, after defraying every expense, se-
-"re to the shareholders a return of from 20 to 25 per cent. on the
'AMC expended.
The Directors propose to commence with a capital of 100,0061., in
thanes
of 101. each (with power to increase), and to place steamers
44 the different ports on the coasts of England and Scotland, nearest
u) the fishing banks in the North Sea, and afterwards to extend the
orations of the company to foreign fisheries, as the success of the
tUldertaking may justify.
All sales of fish being for cash, a dividend can be paid quarterly.
