The shrimping boats are small decked smacks, about 32 feet over all; they carry a great deal of lofty sail, but for the sake of convenience have no main-boom, the main-sheet block working on a horse across the square and upright stern. The Thames Peter-boat differs from the regular shrimp-boat only in having a round stern, and is frequently used for the same purpose, although it is usually of a smaller Thames !Shkimpeks. The usual shrimping ground is from Sea Reach to near the Nore, and the fishery is carried on by some of tlie boats throughout the year; but the best fishing is in the early part of the summer. From two to four nets are used by each boat, according to circumstances,.
