Conviction of a dozen fishermen following mass brawl om the Limfjorden in 1839 over fishing rights for #eel. Just found the court case in @Rigsarkivet this Will be interesting! #oceanspast #envhist #livingontheedge @DFF_raad @Camilla_Gjoel @RolfLLund

The harshest sentence seems to have been 4 x 5 days in the jailhouse for Harboøre fishermen molesting villagers on island of Mors- “on water and bread” as the district court ruled

local parish clerk in Harboøre vouched for his parish fishermen with statements on their character - this will tie in well with @Camilla_Gjoel Ph.d.-work on life in exactly this area, and their ways of coping with #naturaldisaster #livingontheedge of Danish society in many ways.
