其他解释;
By the early 1900s, the fishing schooner had developed
into a fast, efficient vessel. American and Canadian
schooners were similar in design. Both operated on the
Grand Banks off Nova Scotia. They carried 10 or more
small dories from which two-man crews fished.
In the days before refrigeration, fishing schooners had to
be fast, or their catch would spoil before it reached market.
Grand Banks’ schooners were divided into two classes:
those carrying ice as a preservative and staying out two or
three weeks, and the salt bankers that fished until their
hulls were full. The latter made two or three trips a season
and were hauled out in winter.
In the United States, most schooners’ home port was
Gloucester, Massachusetts. These became known as
Gloucester fishermen, or just Gloucestermen. In Canada,
the boats hailed from Nova Scotia.
The Canadian fishing schooner Bluenose was designed by
William J. Roué and built in 1920-1921 at the Smith and
Rhuland Shipyard in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Launched
26 March 1921, she was 143 feet long, 112 feet at the
waterline, with a beam of 27 feet, and displacement
around 280 tons. She was a salt banker, carrying salt in
her bins rather than ice.
Bluenose is famous for beating Gloucestermen in the
International Fishing Schooner Races. She was twice
crowned queen of the Lunenburg fleet, and retains the
record of fastest fishing schooner in Canadian history. |
