	Fishers baiting gear on the F/V Grantduring the early 1900s. The Grant carried 24 fishermen and 12 dories (8 2400' skates with a 9' hook spacing/dory). During the summer, usually 2 sets of 4 skates were fished per dory per day over a relatively short period of 3 days to maintain fish freshness. It was claimed that never less than 150,000 lbs per trip were delivered.
