My memory is that a Pound was worth about $2.80 USD in 1971. 200 Pounds a month would be $560 in the US, which shocks me. I was earning about that much (age 18) working in a fish cannery in 1971, not counting overtime.
Norwegian R/Os were getting about $900 a month then, as I recall, and US R/Os needed an armored truck for their pay.
