An extract from Morris, L., 1748. Plans of Harbours, Bars, Bays and Roads in St. George's Channel. The extract (page 43) describes fishing at Skerry Lighthouse.

The extract reads as follows: ”Here Sea-Tech, Whiting-Pollacks, and other Fish, are taken with Angling Rods from the Cliffs of the Sea Rocks; and in Summer-time Blackings or Cole-fish are in such Plenty here, that the Light-men standing upon the Point of a Rock have frequently taken them up with Baskets, as they passed by.”
