An account of the fish-pool : consisting of a description of the vessel so call'd, lately invented and built for the importation of fish alive, and in good health, from parts however distant. A proof of the imperfection of the well-boat hitherto used in the fishing trade. The true reasons why ships become stiff or crank in sailing; with other improvements, very useful to all persons concern'd in trade and navigation. Likewise, a description of the carriage intended for the conveyance of fish by land, in the same good condition as in the fish-pool by sea / by Sir Richard Steele, and Mr. Joseph Gillmore, mathematician.
