Cod schooners set sail for the Bering Sea until 1950!

The Pacific cod and halibut fisheries developed pretty much simultaneously, and in the same locations, though commercial quantities of cod were soon limited to the Aleutian Islands. The Chief Skugaid and the halibut fleet (then and now) fish over a greater area of the north Pacifc. Their most northerly fishing grounds are beyond the Aleutian islands, into the Bering Sea and south to Haida Gwaii, Queen Charlotte Sound, and near Prince Rupert.
