Traditional Boats used in Fishing


Many traditional boats are still used for fishing in low scale in different parts of the world even today, specially in the rivers and lakes.These boats are still operated using  sail and oars. These boats vary from place to place according to the geographical needs.Early fishing vessels included rafts, dugout canoes, reed boats, and boats constructed from a frame covered with hide or tree bark, such as coracles.Today, large scale fishing in the deep seas are done by mechanised trawlers and huge boats which can stay in the seas for many days.
