For this reason only the largest and most able vessels have been engaged in the Newfoundland fisheries, the average of these ranging from 80 to 100 tons. In preparing a vessel to engage in this fishery it is usually brought to the wharf, after which the fishing gear and salt are removed and the hold is thoroughly cleaned. After this is done, from 20 to 50 tons of dirt or stone are usually placed in the hold for ballast and properly secured. Those vessels which have been engaged in the mackerel ...fisheries, however, retain their summer ballast, but usually put in a few tons additional. After the vessels are ballasted the owners purchase a large amount of provisions, including flour, beef, and pork. In addition to this they usually carry a considerable quantity of kerosene oil, oil clothing, rubber boots, and other articles worn by the fishermen. These goods are exchanged with the natives for herring, the bulk, or even all of the cargo, often being paid for in this way. After the goods are properly stowed, it frequently occurs that the vessel takes a considerable quantity of fruits or vegetables to be sold along the coast of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton.
