Description:
Capt. J.W. Lunt of the schooner Pioneer of Tremont kept a log while fishing during the year 1861. The log was used to support a bounty claim from the federal government. This part of the log shows what each fisherman caught each day in September and provided the basis for their pay. These logs have helped to reconstruct the historic cod catch before good statistics.
The original log is in the National Archives Waltham, Massachusetts branch.
