A good example of the simple boat shops in which these small fishing boats were built. {Smith- sonian photo 44793—f-) CROATAN FISHING BOAT, 1890 Rigged Model, usnm 76255 Boats of this type were once employed in the shad fishery on the North Carolina Sounds in the vicinity of Roanoke Island. They were noted for sailing qualities and seaworthiness. Hulls of some of these boats, with gasoline engines installed, were to be seen at Roanoke Island in 1953. The model is of an open, caravel-planked, center- board boat, like a yawl boat in form and having strong sheer, a straight plank keel with some drag, a straight raking stem, a raking heart-shaped transom with rudder hung outlxiard, the greatest beam a little forward of midlength, a sharp entrance, and a long and fine run. There is some reverse curve in the afterbody sections, and the midsection is formed with a rising straight floor, easy bilge, and flaring topside. Model shows narrow washboards and low coamings along the sides, a very short stern deck, six thwarts. 281.
