Accidents and Incidents
From the West Wales Guardian of Friday 30th January 1953:
In a thrilling close finish, Skipper Tom Salter, Stratford Road, headed the list of big crabber skippers at Milford in 1952, beating Skipper Hubert Morgan by a short head in the fishing league. Only £94 divided their respective grossings for the 12 months. Byan oversight, the big crabbers section was inadvertently omitted from our fishing league reported last week.

3. Iser (R. Hannaford), Don Trawling Co.
