 Accidents and Incidents

From the Haverfordwest and Milford Haven Telegraph of  Wednesday 11th November 1894:

 

    A fine sturgeon was brought in and landed at Milford Fish Market on Monday by the steam trawler "Mermaid".  It weighed about ten stone, and was purchased by Mr. C. W. Edwards for £2-12-6.  It was one of the finest specimens ever brought into Milford Haven.
