The types, such as cat-boats, dories, sloops, and small schooners, used 

 along the New England coast in the seine and line fishing, are also em- 

 ployed indiscriminately in the shell-fish fisheries, especially those of the 

 oyster and scallop. In Long Island Sound, of late years, these craft 

 have been superseded, however, to a great extent, by the steam dredg- 

 ing vessels. For other models see Industrial Exhibit.
