Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the mackerel fisheries of the coast of Maine, from the perspective of social and economic life. The author highlights the unique aspects of this particular fishery and the communities built up around it, and he situates it within the broader contexts of both regional economic history (including of immigrant labor) and American culinary customs. The book describes the physical demands and dangers of fishing, the techniques and equipment used to improve catching efficiency, and the relationships between fishermen, businessmen, and consumers. It looks at the shipping and processing of mackerel and provides detailed information on its consumption and marketing. The author examines how advances in transportation and refrigeration played a key role in the development of the industry and the ways in which scientific research and the resulting technologies transformed the industry. He also considers the geopolitical impact of the industry, which provided seafaring experience to generations of American seamen. The book provides a rich account of the ways in which fishing communities and business practices have evolved, thereby offering a unique historical perspective on American fishing practices This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
