Abstract
WITH the introduction of steam-driven vessels—somewhere about the year 1870—the great development of the present long-distance, deep-sea trawling industry became possible. But the industry's present greatness is not due to steam alone. Had not the practice of stowing the catch in crushed ice been also introduced about the same time, the bringing back of fish in a saleable condition from far distant grounds would have been impossible even for large and powerful steamers unaffected by the vagaries of wind-pi-opiilsion.
