Summary
[edit]| Description | A postcard sent to Ted Claxton. Showing an engraved seascape with gaff ketch fishing boats off Scarborough, Yorkshire, England. By the 1870s, gaff ketches were being used in fleeting for cod and prime fish, i.e. in groups for deep-sea fishing, staying at sea for some time, ferrying the fish to a steamer which ran between the fleet and the port. (Source: Edgar March, Sailing Trawlers). This is a fanciful picture, the ketches having rather more sail up than would be normal in a storm. | ||||
