APPENDIX J: HOLLAND 



Another part of the boats, fishing herring in summer and autumn, practice the trawl- 

 fishery in winter and early spring. They are bumboats from Scheveningen, Katwijk and 

 Nordwijk, and luggers from Scheveningen, Katwijk and Ymuiden. 



Of those fishing with the trawl the whole year round, the number of the steamers is 

 well-known of course; then there is a small number of larger sailing boats (kutters) and a 

 rather great number of smaller sailers (botters, schokkers, blazers) which make short 

 voyages only and in consequence, when fishing as a rule do not lose sight of the coast. 

 As this fleet of small sailers is composed of ships which are to a certain extent used on 

 the Zuidersee also, and as part of them change their "field of operation" according to 

 circumstances, it is impossible to give exact figures for their number in the different years. 



Finally, there is a number of very small boats fishing for shrimps in the mouth of 

 the Scheldt and Maas (Rhine) rivers, outside the estuary in the immediate neighbourhood 

 of the coast, on Texelstroom etc. 



In Table XLV, the number of boats is given, divided according to the main branches 

 of the Dutch North Sea Fisheries for the years 1892—1903; in Table XL VI, the numbers 

 of the boats are given regardless of the use, but with the size.
