“4 The development of the fishing fleet during this period is due solely to the increased employment of steamers, steam frawlers and large and small motor boats, for the sailing vessels have practically disap- peared, and the number of rowing-boats is steadily diminishing. This development is clearly illustrated by the following table, which shows the increase in the number of gross register tonnage: ear Sailing Motor vessels . ships 1905 1910 281 6431 1915 . . 3721 1920 . . 1190 3538 1925 . . 328 5691 1927 . . 51 4 798 Trawler Other Steamer Total £1 ‘06 re Qc 8287 7736 059 248 11018 8730 223 13681 13570 2769 22358 15 193 2992 23 034 As motor ships had hardly begun to make their appearance by 1905; sailing vessels may by said to have constituted 95% of the gross reg. tonnage of the decked fishing fleet. By 1927 only one of these old craft was left, while 66 per cent. were now represented by steam trawlers, and 13% and 20. % respectively by other steamers and motor ships. The trawlers, 46 in number, aggregated a (gross) tonnage of 15193 tons, an average of some 330 tons per trawler. Other steamers num- bered 29 with an average tonnage of 103 tons (gross) per steamer, whereas the tonnage of the whole motor ship fleet amounted to 4798 tons (gross), giving an average of 26 tons per ship. FISHING SEASONS AND FISHERMEN The fishing seasons vary greatly in length for the off-shore and in- shore fisheries. All the trawlers and the majority of the motor ships are run almost all the year round, while the small-sized motor boats and rowing boats are in a much higher degree dependent on the fish- ing grounds near the places where they are stationed. For them there- fore the length of the fishing season may vary from a few weeks to six months or even more, according to the locality. In 1927 the number of men and boys actually engaged in fishing from Icelandic ports, was 8617, distributed among the various types of vessels as follows: Decked vessels . . . . . . Motor boats (small-sized) . . Rowing-boats . TP ® i E 3557 men 2363 — 2697 —
