Dave Hunt | Origins: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean? (90* d) | RE: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean? | 19 Apr 08 |
Haul and Tow is an ancient (and still practised) method of oyster dredging on the Helford river. - they are still using boats under sail for part of the process - they used to sail, (now motor) up stream, and then drift sideways down on the current whilst dredging, and the use of engines is not allowed. This method of fishery has helped sustain the oyster stocks! |
