Fine Hand Carving

The Gloucester fishing schooners were perhaps the last working sailboats on the American East Coast to survive the coming of steam. Superbly designed even past the turn of the century for economy, speed, and seaworthiness, they would sail from the Massachusetts coast, spend several days dory-fishing for cod and halibut on the Grand Banks offshore, and then dash to their market with a load of fresh fish on ice.
The schooner rig allowed these boats to be sailed by a very small crew, and their ability to make port safely in the teeth of a blistering northeaster winter storm is legendary.
