			I am not sure if this link will work.  I will post an extract about how in some parts traditional trade patterns continued into the very early 1900s.  It is interesting to read that there was some conflict with pearl shell workers that had been established on some island of the Torres Straits from 1860. http://www.qm.qld.gov.au/organisatio...3_1_barham.pdf |
