Maine's marine fish wardens & pickled fish inspectors 1897-1912

FROM: Reports of the Commissioners of Sea and Shore Fisheries of the State of Maine for 1897- 1912

"There are, in the State and on duty at the present time, twenty-three fish wardens who serve twelve months in the year, and nine sardine wardens who serve but six months in the year. 

The duties of these men are to look up and bring to justice violators, and to gather statistical information for this department.

1897 1898 edition of the Commissioner's report describes wardens but does not list their names.

"I have no occasion to find fault with those on duty now, and I believe they are doing what they are able to do for the benefit of the State....If the citizens of the State would assist these men in the performance of their duties, instead of sympathizing with the violators, it would be a much easier task that would fall to their lot."
