FIFTH GENERATION SB 207
Shelter Island who wanted the Legislature to grant him the
' land in front of his property extending 200 feet into the
water. Farmers seined for millions of Bunkers yearly in
' local waters to use for fertilizer on their fields . Not to
have been allowed to catch them along the shores would have
' been a hardship and departure from common practice . A long
article about Bunker Fishing says that when word was sent
about the catch on the beach, "Uncle Elbert Prince was among
the first to arrive with his big black mare . He takes two
thousand off the beach. Few can do that , " Albert Prince
' and Halsey Tuthill brought at least two long schooner wagons
from Orange Co , NY to Southold , probably to haul fish, among
' other things .
