Fishing smack, 1882 AD (Large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis image shows a side view of an old fishing boat in full sail at sea. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left when the image is the correct way up. An image border surrounds the image. The front of the boat (bow) is on the left and the back (stern) is on the right of the page. In the top centre of the image, is the top of the mast with a flag to the right. Moving down the upper mast there is a triangular topsail to the right. The upper mast is joined to the main mast at the bottom corner of the topsail. Going up and right from here is the gaff boom (a pole). The main gaff sail hangs from it. Down and to the left of the main mast are two triangular foresails. The one to the left has its bottom edge attached to a bowsprit which is a pole sticking out forwards horizontally. To the right the bottom edge of the main gaffsail is attached to the main boom, another horizontal pole. The sail covers part of the boom to the left. Down from the left part of the gaffsail is the top of a small cabin. To the right of the main mast is the mizzen mast. It has a small gaff sail to the right and a long thin flag at the top. At the very end of the boat, a small tender (dingy) hangs facing away so only the stern end of it can be found. The hull of the main boat is at the bottom of the image. It is moving to the left through choppy water so not all the hull can be found.
