Accidents and Incidents

From the Haverfordwest & Milford Haven Telegraph of Wednesday 6th April 1892:

 

The Record Again Broken

    Our readers will remember that in a recent issue we adverted to a record catch of fish landed at Milford Docks, by the trawler "Admiral" (Captain Dove).  We are now pleased to announce another phenomenal catch landed at the same place, which, in value and dimensions, overshadows all previous figures at Milford haven or the district.

    On Thursday last, the trawler "Premier" (Captain Bart Foster) of the London Trawlers Ltd., and under the management of Captain Wales, landed 43 trunks of soles together with a large quantity of other fish.  The whole catch was in the primest of condition, and reflected the greatest credit on the genial and experienced skipper, who received the congratulations of his many friends in his characteristic manner.
