Steam Tug VIM tows a fishing schooner loaded with bait. Gloucester Harbor 1875
reddit:r/Nautical · 2026-02-16 12:28:38
I cleaned this one up a bit for an article I'm working on. Back then, Gloucester Harbor would freeze up and tugs would have to act as ice breakers. Bait is the bottleneck in various fisheries and in winter they would send schooners to Newfoundland to buy frozen herring in barrels. submitted by /u/Background-Hat-1356 [link] [comments]
