Fishing off this coast goes back to Roman times. By the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century it had developed from the coast’s three ports (Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington), Staithes’ tidal creek, and the beaches along the coast. The foundation of the industry was inshore fishing by long lines from the local small cobles, whose characteristic Viking-style design was produced by the need to launch and recover them over beaches. But by 1800 there was also a well-established offshore industry, partly with some deep-sea fishing off the Faroes and Iceland but mainly with a substantial middle-range fishing fleets of three-masted luggers. These fished with lines for white fish off the Dogger Bank and elsewhere and each autumn they would move to East Anglia to catch herrings. These numerous North Sea fishing grounds – not just the Dogger Bank – are at the centre of this history.
