A Brief History of Fishing from Salcombe

Fishing has occurred around the South Devon coast for hundreds of years but there were dramatic changes over the past 100 years as fishermen moved from rowing boats to the Supercrabbers of today. Salcombe History Society committee member, Geoff Foale, has researched and presented this fascinating history of the last 100 years of Salcombe's fishing industry in a full colour A4 booklet containing many interesting facts and photographs of local fishermen and their vessels at work in the waters around Salcombe.
