Fishing Grounds of the Gulf of Maine

Hue and Cry Bottom This ground lies W. ½ mile from the Portland Lightship. It is about 2 1/2 miles long by 1½ miles wide and extends in a generally N. and S. direction. The bottom is mainly rocks, though there is a sandy area lying inside it. Depths are from 4 fathoms, where is a buoy and where it breaks in heavy weather, to some 35 fathoms over much of the rest of the ground.
