Description
Boston Irish Hooker tacking into Gloucester's inner harbor in the late 1800's. One of the inshore type of fishing boats they would be returning home with the days catch. A long line with many baited hooks would be set along the bottom, with an anchor at either end running up to a buoy. In the early 1980's I built a Itchen Ferry Cutter for myself, under Timeline III on my website a photograph of me sailing in almost the same location - 100 years later!
