[Footnote 16: "Pedro Reinel, a Portuguese pilot of much fame" (Herrera) made a map in 1505 showing Sable Island, feared and dreaded by all fishermen even in those days, where he called it "Santa Cruz." Jacamo Gastaldi, an Italian cartographer, in 1548 shows it "Isolla de Arena." Sir Humphrey Gilbert or his historian, says that the Portuguese had made an interesting settlement here for shipwrecked mariners. This, "Upon intelligence we had of a Portugal who was himself present when the Portugals, above thirty years past (thus before 1551) did put upon the island neat and swine to breed, which were since exceedingly multiplied."] TABLES OF CATCH [Table 6--Distance from Boston or Gloucester, Mass., to the center of certain of the more important offshore banks] [Table 7--Distance from Portland, Me., to the center of certain of the more important offshore banks] [Table 8--Landings by fishing vessels at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., from inner or shore grounds, 1927] [Table 9--Landings by fishing vessels at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., from the outer grounds of the Gulf of Maine, 1927] [Table 10--Landings by fishing vessels at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., from the fishing grounds of the Georges Bank area, 1927] [Table 11--Landings by the otter-trawl fleet at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., from the fishing grounds of the Georges Bank area, 1927] [Table 12--Landings by fishing vessels at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., from the offshore grounds adjacent to the Gulf of Maine, 1927] [Table 13--Landings by fishing vessels at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., from all grounds, 1927] [Table 14--Landings by fishing vessels from the various fishing grounds at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., 1927] [Table 15--Landings by fishing vessels from all grounds at Boston and Gloucester, Mass., and Portland, Me., 1916 to 1927] MAPS [Map--Coastal Banks and Inshore Grounds of the Gulf of Maine: Bay of Fundy] [Map--Coastal Banks and Inshore Grounds of the Gulf of Maine: Monhegan to Petit Manan] [Map--Coastal Banks and Inshore Grounds of the Gulf of Maine: Monhegan to Cape Cod] [Map--Coastal Banks and Inshore Grounds of the Gulf of Maine: Petit Manan to Seal Island] [Map--Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine: The Georges Area] INDEX TO GROUNDS Abner Ground Acre, The Allens Shoal Andrews Shoal Apron The Artimon Bank
