. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. New England Shore Fishery Scene, 1862. A keel New England 2-niasted lobster boat is in the fore- ground. Dories and a spritsail rigged skiff are on the beach. {Smithionian photo ^^ycjo-j.) keel with skeg, a curved raking stem, a raking flat and heart-shaped transom, sharp entrance, easy run, and strong sheer. The beam is great and is carried \\ell aft; the gunwale is full at bow to give flaring forward sections. The midsection is formed with a rising straight floor, rather slack bilge, and flaring topside. There is a good deal of wood outside the keel rabbet. The rudder is hung outboard and fitted with a steer- ing yoke; the model has fi\e thwarts and stern sheets. Square tholes are shown. Boats of this type were usu- ally fitted to sail as well as to row; the usual rig was a loose-footed spritsail, but other rigs were employed, particularly the boomed gaff-sail. Scale of model is 2 inches to the foot, for a boar 20 feet on the gimwales. 6 feet beam, and 2 feet 6 inches rabbet to gun\vale.
