Fishermen's Handbook

By C.R.P.C. Branson and Rear Admiral C R P C. (Editor). Branson

Earlier versions of the Fisherman's Handbook became famous as the fishermen's best friend in times of difficulty. Having the same objectives, this edition changes its approach to several subjects. For example, instead of describing well-known fishing methods, it analyses specific hazards relating to trawling, sining, scallop dredging and the use of static gear. The general approach has been to eliminate detail easily found elsewhere, and concentrate on broader subjects which are set out under the headings management, navigation, watchkeeping and shiphandling, fishing operations, safety and survival, anchors and cables, coradge and its uses. Many changes in regulations produced the need for this new edition, prepared by Admiral Branson for the British Marine Mutual Insurance Association Ltd, whose aim is to improve standards of safety at sea. It is now a veritable handy aide-m'moire for skippers and crew, as well as essential reading for students.
