SCOTTISH FISHING BOATS

Descripción

Fishing has an unglamorous reputation, yet the story of the fishing boat is one of continual innovation and experiment in design ad technology. A number of specific boat types appeared, each one admirably adapted to its peculiar enviroment and its particular tasks. By 1900 the fishing boat had been developed into the famous, very large and very fast sail-powered luggers, known as fifies and zulus, but at the time steam power and then motor power were swiftly being taken on board.
