WANT TO ARM
TRAWLERS OF
THE ATLANTIC
GLOUCESTER. Mass., Sept. 26. —
"Give us a suitable measure of pro
tection and we will keep up the food
supply so long as there is one vessel
left afloat in the North Atlantic." is
the answer of Gloucester ship own
ers and fishermen to the German sub
marine raid on portions of the North
Atlantic Ashing fleet in July and Au
gust.
If the enemy planned his descent
on these helpless craft for its psy
chological effect he certainly achieved
his aim, but the effect was the op
posite from whut he sought. Instead
of being intimidated by the sinking
of many of their vessels, the salty
mariners of Gloucester and this is
true of other parts as well—have set
their teeth and by word and act have
shown their determination to con
tinue "business as usual.”
In the period covered by the raid,
from July 22 to August 26, twenty- j
nine fishing vessels were sunk by the !
Germans, some by shellfire, others x;
by bombs, and at least one, according |
to its captain, by a torpedo. A part j ■
of the tleet was sent to tin* bottom ::
by the trawler Triumph, which was x
seized by a German submarine and x
provided with crew and armament.
The fishing craft ranged in size from
the tiny Itellance, of 19 tons, one of :?:
thi' swordfishertwon sunk on the Geor
ges bank, to the Kric. of GOO tons, |:j
sent down south of the Island of x
.Miquelon, far to the northeast of the!:?:
New Kngland waters. Most of them o
were of American registry, chiefly
owned in Gloucester or Boston, but ; x
a few hailed from Canadian and New
foundland ports, principally lumen
burg, N. 9. •:•
The sunken vessels totalled 3.616!$
tons, with an estimated value of more ■:
than $900,000. The insurance which
the owners were able to collect was
little more than 50 per cent of this, j x
Moreover, the replacement cost, un- j x
der present conditions, would In a i
great many eases lie more than don
hie tlie amount which was required j j:|:
to Imild these craft it is figured x:
that a vessel which cost $15,000 a|x
few years ago could not be replaced :■:■
now for less than $35,000.
The losses, however, have been well •:•:
distributed. The Gorton-Pew Vessels
company of this city was robbed of jx
the greatest number of vessels, hut &
the Chisholm Corporation, also of —
Gloucester, which lost two modern _
schoooners. sustained the heaviest in- j
(1 tvttiuaI financial damage.
About one million pounds of fish,
most of which had been caught by
the toilsome methods of the hand
liner, or captured by the skillful har
poon of the swordfish hunter, was
returned to the deep. The 29 vessels
sunk were capable of an annual pro
duction of about six million pounds
of fish.
Vessel owners here are hoping that
the financial problems involved in the
maintaining of the fishing fleet at the
highest point of numbers and efflcien- -
cy will bo solved by the extension of -
aid by the federal war risk insurance
bureau. Negotiations to this end are ti
well under way. C
Owners, masters and fishermen are c
gratified at the steps taken by the
navy department to protect the fleet.
Many of them, however, would like
to have their craft armed, so that in
stead of being forced to stand by idle
and watch the enemy sink their ves
sels, they could at least attempt to
hit back in case of a submarine at
tack. Their point of view has been
explained to the navy department by
Captain Clayton Morrissey of the
beam trawler Walrus.
"Man my craft with guns and gun- I
tiers," Captain Morrissey told the de- ;
partment, "or If this is impossible
tell me where 1 can buy guns of the
proper calibre and 1 will buy them
myself, if only men can be furnished
me to find the range and fire the -
guns. I realize what is going on
'over there’ and I am willing to take
a chance and do my share 'over here.'
They can get me or I’ll get them if
l can get the armament."
