The International Fisheries Exhibition: boats and nets in the British Sea Fisheries Gallery, 1883. 'One of our Illustrations published this week is a view of the western part (north side) of the long and lofty gallery devoted to the British Sea Fisheries, and to a variety of British-built boats, including some used for fresh-water fishing, immediately adjacent to the Entrance Hall. It contains, on the right hand, a few of the river-boats of Messrs. E. Searle and Sons, Lambeth, and the Meiter and Berthon collapsible dinghies, canoes, and punts, which can be folded up in a small space; while to the left hand are shown first-class sea-fishing boats, from the east coast; beautiful models, chiefly of American fishing-vessels, on the tables; and a large collection of nets used in the British mackerel, pilchard, herring, sprat, and other sea fisheries, by Mr. Craggs, of Lowestoft, and other manufacturers, besides crab and lobster traps, fishing-lines, and many articles of the piscatorial craft. We have not space here for a more particular description'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
