Probably the largest haul of fish ever taken out of Maumee bay, or Lake Erie, was made by Mr. Robert Navarre, the vetran range light keeper of Ironville. This haul was made in March, 1858, and was made with an eighty-rod seine. The three hauls resulted as follows: first, 50 barrels; second, 42 barrels; and third, 22 barrels, 114 barrels in all, weighing 250 pounds to the barrel. This was over 14 tons of fish, which were selling for 3 cents per pound, netting Mr. Navarre $950.

Mr. Robert C. Navarre moved from Monroe to Presque Isle in 1840. His early life was spent in farming, hunting and acting as agent for fur buyers. On the breaking out of the war Mr. Navarre enlisted--begin page 76--in the 100th Ohio, served three years and was twice severely wounded. In 1868 he was appointed keeper of the light station at the mouth of the Maumee, which position he holds at present.
