This size is not used to any great extent by American fishermen, but 

 large numbers are shipped annually to the French at St. Pierre, Miquelon. 

 This dory is built about the same depth and width as the haddock dory, 

 and very strong, with six, and sometimes seven, pairs of timbers, with a 

 wide band or ribband on the outside to protect the top of the dory. The 

 gunwales, timbers, stern, and about all other material in this style of dory 

 are larger than are usually i)ut in American dories. The French boats 

 used by their vessels formerly are being fast superseded by the American 

 dory.
