Model of ketch. 



The fishing ketch, Resolute., of Gloucester, Mass., of which this 

 is a miniature, was built at Essex, Mass., in 1891 for prosecuting 

 the beam-trawl fishery. She is the first vessel of this type ever built 

 in the United States, and resembles in hull and rig the sailing 

 ketch-rigged, beam-trawlers of the east coast of England, of which 

 she is largely a copy, especially in rig and equipment.
