Title: Fishing Industries Outside of Ireland
Scope and content: Don Patterson, a maritime research fellow at Queen’s University Belfast in the early 1970s, was seemingly in correspondence with several people from Great Britain and Scandinavian countries; specifically, Bergens Sjøfartsmuseum in Norway.
