Document No 3483: Lines of MISCHIEF - From Howard Chapelle, History of American Sailing Ships | |||||||||||||||
REF : 0 EDITION : 1881 DATE : 31 Jan 1881 COURSE : 0 DESCRIPTION SITE : Mishchief was nothing like the narrow, deep-draft cutters or fishing trawlers of England with their full bows and narrow sterns. She was decidedly different and rather radical, to the extent that there was nothing really like her in Europe at that time. Mischief was unusually beamy, of extremely shallow draft, with a centreboard, and very heavy (probably helped to a few extra tons because of the materials used - she was built of iron). The traditional craft that spring to my mind would be the catboats of New England. NOTES AMERICA-SCOOP :LICENCE : Autorisation en cours |
