History
The World Fishing Exhibition has its own history. Celebrated for the first time in 1963 in the United Kingdom as a biannual event, the first four shows were held at the famous Earl’s Court and Olympia Hall. After the 5th exhibition, the show went on the road to other countries and in 1971 took place at The Royal Dublin Society were it was organized by the Irish Government. The sixth edition, which was the first in Spain, was held in Vigo in 1973. Thereafter it travelled to Marseille, Halifax and Copenhagen.
From 1963 to 2003 the World Fishing Exhibition increased in both size and significance. Each show increased number of companies showing as well as for the amount of international visitors it received.

“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”

“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
