     Claudia,
 
     Rob Ferguson has passed on to me a copy of your e-mail message
     requesting sources for the New York-based deep sea cod fishery. I have
     found good information on American deep sea fishing off Atlantic
     Canada in the following: "Documents and Proceedings of the Halifax
     Commission, 1877, under the Treaty of Washington of May 8, 1871"
     (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1878), 3 vols. This will be
     of use only if New York fishers ventured into waters near Canada's
     Atlantic coast. I also recollect that Ronald Tallman did a PhD thesis
     for the University of Maine at Orono on US fishing in Atlantic Canada,
     mainly from the point of view of fisheries diplomacy. It might be
     worth a look.
 
     I am very interested in your subject, because I have done a lot of
     work on the cod fishery in Atlantic Canada - is this for a thesis or
     an article? I would like to see the finished product when it becomes
     available.
 
     Good luck,
     Jim Candow
