Apparatus accessory to rigging fishing-vessels. 



Rudder-fixtures. 



any one sailing over a line or seine, as the rudder can be easily raised far 

 enough to pass over and prevent a line getting caught between the rud- 

 der and boat, as would otherwise likely ensue, and when over, by simply 

 letting down the rudder, it will go to its place again ready for use. 



By this arrangement we are enabled to get the hinges further down on 

 the rudder, thereby bringing the strain on both of them, while in the old 

 way, the lower eye and pintle are so far from the bottom of the boat, in 

 order to facilitate the shipping of the rudder, that this one has to bear 

 nearly all of the strain." (W. N. Clark.)
