Sorry, ships would grind to a halt? I find it very difficult to imagine the physics that would make that possible as opposed to the fish simply shifting apart, and I googled for a while and was not able to find any corroboration. Do you have some links on that?
- x87678r 6y agoI believe its probably like this quote: > and around 1600 English fishing captains still reported cod shoals "so thick by the shore that we hardly have been able to row a boat through them." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_fishing_in_Newfoundland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_fishing_in_Newfoundland
- spodek 6y agoI did a couple video essays on the book that quote that passage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLAvBiols2Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLAvBiols2Y and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4NZdciDozI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4NZdciDozI. The passage about the fish comes 45 seconds in to the first video in a NY Times quote from it, then the quote in context from the book at 5:15, though I recommend watching both videos and reading the book whole.
