On This Day: The Arctic Corsair was launched 60 years today

February 29, 2020 International News

Today marks the 60th birthday of one of Hull’s most high-profile pieces of maritime heritage. On Monday, February 29, 1960 the newly-built Arctic Corsair trawler was launched sidewards into the River Hull at the Beverley shipyard of Coo, Welton and Gemmell Ltd. The sidewinder trawler was the latest addition to a fleet of vessels owned by Hull fishing firm Boyd Line. Like all new trawlers, the Corsair wasn’t immediately ready for a trip to the Arctic fishing grounds. Instead, she underwent an extensive fitting out operation in Princes Dock in Hull before embarking on her maiden voyage on June 18. Video, >click to read< 14:52

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
