Synopsis
Fishing the Severn Sea – From Hartland Point to St Ann’s Head.
The Bristol Channel, once one of the busiest fishing lanes in Great Britain, is a compelling area of the nation’s seas to discover, with a unique range of characteristics. In this book, renowned maritime historian Mike Smylie and Simon Cooper, expert in the field, delve into the variety of fishing methods used in the past and present around this coastline. The area from Hartland Point in the south-west of England to St Ann’s Head in Wales is examined in detail, via the lower reaches of the River Severn and its estuary, the River Wye and the south coast of Wales.
Accompanied by previously unseen photographs and drawings, the authors present a fascinating account of the lives of the ‘Severn Sea’ fishermen, the boats they used and the way they went about bringing in their catches. Encompassing stories from the herring fishers of Clovelly to long-netting on the Severn and the harvest of oysters off Swansea, this book is a must for fishing enthusiasts and those with an interest in local history.
