Guarantees about fishing rights
[edit]That French fishing rights off Newfoundland and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence were to be guaranteed. (ARTICLE XXVII.) Those were British possessions, so why did such guarantees show up in a treaty that didn't involve Britain? Nik42 20:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- The text of the treaty says that: Neither party will intermeddle in the Fisheries of the other on it's coast nor disturb the other in the exercise of the rights. Which it now holds or may acquire c the coast of Newfoundland, in the Glulph of Saint Lawrence or elsewhere on the American cons northward of the United States But the whale and seal Fisheries. shall be free to both in every quarter of the world. My guess is that, from the way this reads, the French were expecting to gain those rights in a future treaty with Great Britain (with whom they were also negotiating at the time), and wanted a pledge from the U.S. in writing not to interfere with French fishing vessels in that area. 74.251.200.216 03:56, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
