The Vanishing Fleets

The Vanishing Fleets is a non-fiction book written by Roy Norton that explores the decline of the British fishing industry. The book details the history of the industry, from its heyday in the 19th century to the devastating impact of two world wars and the rise of industrial fishing. Norton examines the various factors that contributed to the decline of the industry, including overfishing, government policies, and changing consumer tastes. He also profiles some of the fishermen and their families who were affected by the decline, and the social and economic consequences of the industry's collapse. The Vanishing Fleets is a poignant and insightful look at a once-great industry and the people who depended on it for their livelihoods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
