24. STERRE, J. S. VAN DER, Ylaardingen. (1) Model of a Fishing 

 Boat (Sloop). (2) Description of the Model of Sloop Fishing-Boat, " Nyverheid," made 

 at ^ of the size of original by J. S. van der Sterre, Ship-builder, Vlaardingen. This kind of 

 boat, of which fourteen are found at Vlaardingen, is used for herring and ground-line 

 fisheries, and may be distinguished from the luggers : 1. Their depth of hold is 1| ft. larger 

 than those of the luggers. 2. That the bow is fuller built. 3. That the manner of building 

 is quite different from that of the luggers, and the different parts are stronger ; for instance, 

 the draughts are closed and fixed together on the keel as well as in the hold, while the fence 

 is composed of two-inch oak wood outside and inside, by which it is very rare that they are 

 cut away by the sea, which happens frequently with the luggers. 4. Another difference is 

 that they have a trunk or box to keep the fish alive ; the holes in the bottom of the ship are 

 crammed with stopples when the ship is used in herring fisheries. With a few exceptions the 

 mast can be taken down. This kind of fisher-boat is a development of the old-fashione4 

 sloops, which were built with a flat poop placed upright against the stern, and which are still 

 in use in some places for the ground-line fisheries only. The great advantage of this alteration 

 was that it gave more room for the mizen mast with rigging and sails.
