| Summary: | fishery It should be recalled that in the early days both Scandanavians and Dundee Scotchmen came out to hunt the seal, but that eventually they abandoned the game as too strenuous. None but Newfoundlanders could keep it going. And their next development of the "fishery" was a gradual abandonment of netting in favour of going to the icefields in small boats - "ice skiffs" and open craft; incredibly small affairs with which to buck the arctic ice.Decked boats were also used; and gradually small schooners were introduced.
