Block model of schooner. 



The schooner Wehstey' Sanborn^ of Gloucester, Mass., was built 

 from this model at Essex, Mass., in 1876, for employment in the 

 Grand Bank cod and halibut fisheries. Schooners designed especially 

 for bank fishing generallj^ have larger proportional carrying capacity 

 than any other classes of fishing vessels, since speed is more' of a 

 secondary consideration. The Sanhorn is an excellent example of 

 a clipper banker of the period when she was built. She was lost at 

 Newfoundland in the summer of 1882. 



The vessel had a moderately sharp, high, rounding bow, somewhat 

 fuller than the average; low, deep bilge; medium length of run; 

 much sheer; elliptical and slightly overhanging stern. 



Dimensions of vessel. — Length over all, 81 feet; beam, 24 feet; 

 depth of hold, 8 feet ; draft of water aft, 10 feet 6 inches. Scale of 

 model, one-half inch equals 1 foot.

Block model of smack. 



The welled fishing schooner Ciiy of Havana was built from this

 red snappers and groupers, which were carried alive in the well to 

 Havana, CuUa, where the Key West smaclanen marketed their catch. 



The City of Havana was a wooden, carvel-built, two-masted keel 

 schooner, with sharp bow; raking stem; long head; rather short 

 rising floor; quick turn to bilge; long and well formed run; strongly 

 raking square stern ; good sheer. She had a well amidships for 

 keeping fish alive.
