Volume 13 · 97 words · 1797 Edition

NYMPH-Bank, situated about 10 leagues off the coast of the county of Waterford, and province of Munster. Nymph in Ireland, is a great fishing place, and 11 leagues S. S. E. from the high head of Dungarvan. It abounds with cod, ling, skate, bream, whitling, and other fish; which was discovered by Mr Doyle, who on July 15, 1736 sailed to it, in company with seven men, on board the Nymph, a small vessel of about 12 guns. This place is well adapted for a fishing company, the great public advantages of which must be very evident.
