| Description |
English: For many years, halibut crews used small boats called dories for setting the longlines and hauling them back in. Around 1900, a steamer might bait, set, and haul six to twenty skates of line per day. Each skate was about 2,000 feet long, and several might be joined together in a string. If the men in the dories needed to move quickly from one end of the string to the other, they might get a tow from the steamer.
This photo shows two dories being towed by a halibut steamer somewhere in the northern Pacific Ocean. It was probably taken from the halibut steamer "Polaris" sometime between 1913 and 1927.
