Scale of model, 1 inch equals 1 foot. Exchanged from Berlin Fisheries. Cat. No. 160,212 FIG. 73. BELGIAN FISHING VESSKL. Model of Belgian fishing boat. This type of boat is used in the beam trawl' fishery from the coast of Belgium. Boats of this kind are called sloops in Belgium. Their peculiar shape is no doubt due to the proximity of the Netherlands, as it is evident that they have been copied from small Dutch vessels which they resemble more or less. The model represents an open, clinker-built, flat bottom keelless boat; high and very full bow; curved, moderately raking stem; round sides; easy bilge; narrow flat bottom; heavy cleat on bilge for leeboard to rest against; round and full stern, which is much lower than bow; straight raking sternpost; rudder hung outside; rigged with two masts, the foremast stepped at extreme bow and mainmast.
