Bay Fisherman
Model Boat

In the shallow coastal bays and inlets, flat-bottomed sailing skiffs, were used to set out lobster traps and fishing nets. Manned and sailed by one or two fishermen, the gaff rig could be raised and lowered in no time at all, the ship anchored and the work done. The flat bottom allowed the fishermen to go almost anywhere they wanted. Built of wood, plank-on-frame. (Height 13.75", Length 17.75")
