 | | Various operations connected with the working of the fisheries keep the people in employment from the time the entrancesluices are closed, at the end of April, till the commencement of the great harvest of eel-culture, which lasts from the beginning of August till December. |
 | | His Majesty Charles II., being interested in the fisheries, visited Yarmouth in company with the Duke of York and others of the nobility, when lie was handsomely entertained, and presented with four golden herrings and a chain of considerable value. |
