A True NARRATION OF The Royall Fishings OF Great BRITTAINE and JRELAND Instituted Anno 1632 and prosecuted by the Right Honourable PHILIP Earle of Pembrook and Montgomery and his Associats untill Anno 1640 from the River of THAMES Whereunto is added a Discovery of new Trades for the employing of all the poore people and Vagrants in the Kingdomes BY SIMON SMITH Agent for the Royall FISHING LONDON Printed by E. P. for Nicholas Bourne at the south Entrance of the Royall EXCHANGE 1641. TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT MAIESTY The Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons in the high Court of PARLIAMENT assembled Simon Smith Agent for the Royal Fishing of great Brittaine and Ireland In all Humbleness● shewing THat having now by the space of eight yee●es since his Maiesties first institution of the Royall Fishery applied himselfe by all the best wayes and meanes to advance the Artes Skill and Knowledge of the same for the imployment of people and encreasing of the Traffike of the Kingdomes to the great benefit of his Majesty and the adventurers which being brought to that perfection as formerly hath not bin attained unto It now wants nothing but execution which to doe I doubt not but there are many very willing and able onely that the imployment is not beleeved to yeeld that answerable profit which is expected and also because it hath beene often begunne and given over againe and these late associations have much discouraged the wel-wishers thereof Wherefore to vindicate the honour and reputation thereof I have made bold in al humblenesse to set forth this narration and am ready to demonstrate the action it selfe to be very good and profitable in all its relations and to be embraced and cherished Whereas it is reported that the Herring Fishing by Busses is unprofitable alledging that the Lord Marshall and the Lord Chamberlaines associations have lost their stockes in their Fishing Businesse I answer and say THat the cause of the consumption of their stocks was by their improper disbursements mannaged by unskilful Factors building of Barkes instead of Busses which were not fit for that performance and sending them and other great ships laden with Merchandizes and many Factors which wasted consumed their stocks unto the Ilands of the Lewis and Sheteland applying themselves in a way of coaping with the Ilanders for their commodities taking unvendable Fish in lieu thereof This was not the Fishing intended And having made great preparations for the Herring Fishing in the Lowghes at the Lewis-Ilands bought Land and erected houses for the curing and packing their Herrings and stoage of their Nets Caske salt and other provisions it hapned that the Herrings failed to come into those loughes whereby their great charges and freights and wages were all lost and being afterwards made knowne that the Herrings did not constantly make their appearance in those Loughes but many years failed The Lord Marshals association having wasted all their stock in that way of employment quite gave over their Fishing which did discourage many of the L. Chamberlains associats whose under-writings being in 7 years payments by equall portions prevented the losing of their whol Srock but caused them to detain their two last payments yet the L. Chamberlan some of his associats have prosecuted that businesse of the Herring Fishing with Busses in the North seas where the Netherlanders doe constantly Fish which is to this day continued by the Lord Chamberlaines Agent to the reliefe of many poore people but the want of Stock and interruption by the Dunkerker although it hath hindred the prosperity and growth thereof yet it hath discovered the action it selfe to be very good in all respects and to bee embraced and cherished as for Directions for the Herring Fishing Touching the proportion and charge of a Busse with all the particulars belonging thereto I referre unto the Booke called Britiaines Busse which exactly and truly sets downe both the qualities and quantities of all things belonging thereunto The manner of the Fishing The Busse of 70 Tuns which can stow but 30 lastes of Herring Barrels which is 360 barrels in regard of the Stoage for the Nets and other provisions and must have 55 deep sea nets of 4 deepings to each net and each deeping being 70 Masses at the first setting out and must have 55 Nets more in readinesse at returne leaving the others to be newed and tanned and fitted for the last going out againe and so for Caske Salt and all other provisions to be ready for the quicker dispatch The number of men and youthes imployed in this Busse is 19. viz. 10 Fishers Gippers Salters and Coopers 6 common men for labour and three Countrey youths for Apprentices The whole monethly wages to the 18 persons besides the Master will be about 20 li. The Master is to have in lieu of his wages 12. d. for every Merchantable barrell of Herring he takes The victualling reckoned for two moneths at first setting out which is the time of taking Summer Herring called Seasticks and then expected back unto the Maggazeene againe The places of the Fishing are First at Sheteland in Cullero and Brutio Sowndes which is our Kings Dominions at which coaste the Herrings doe first rise and shootes forwards to the Doggerbanke which lyeth in the maine Ocean of those Northerne seas and there all nations doe fish together and about Bartholmew they come into the Yarmouth Seas This can give no offence to the Hollander being its free in GODS high way which is the Ocean for all Nations to Fish But if it please our Kings Majesty in the future when as our English and Scottish Busses shall encrease then to strengthen the priviledges of Sheteland Yarmouth and other places from the stranger it may prove advantageous to his subjects as by the right of his Royaltie hee may justly doe The Vent of Herrings in forreine parts For the Summer Herrings which are called Seasticks not being capeable of packing by reason of their fatnesse are vented at Danske Elbing Coningsburg Statteene and other places within the Baltick Seas from whence is Masts Hempe Pitch Tar Waynskots Clapbords Deale and Caske usefull for the Fishery or Gold Silver and Corne returned Also Hamburg Dunkerke Deepe Nants Rouen St. Valleries St. Mallowes Burdeaux and elsewhere The second Fishing being repact Herrings the full and shotten separated which may be vented in all the places aforesaid The Crux Herrings made with salt upon salt doe find their best vent and price at Rouen For the latter Fishing if Corved Herrings the best vent of them is at Yarmouth to make red Herrings for Leghorne Genoua and other parts within the Streights And what repact Herrings then shall bee made are to be vented at Deepe Rouen and those other places before named the Eastland being frozen up and so too late to send any thither The Herring Fishing beginneth the middle of Iune and ceaseth about the middle of November but from the time of going forth untill the returne
