A third group is formed by short round-bottomed little boats of which

_c_) The _Knotsen_ of Antwerp are the prototypes. The “Bollen”, and the

“Lemmerjachten” or “Lemmeraaken” belong to the same group.

Finally, a fourth group is formed of vessels having a greatly raking

stern and sternpost, called

_d_) _Haaringschuiten_ to which the widely scattered _Punters_ also

belong.

In conclusion, there may also be mentioned several types of small

fishing boats, which frequent exclusively our inland rivers and canals,

and present very often more or less marked resemblances to the types

given under the letters _a_ to _d_. They are the following:

The _Visscherschuitje van Aalsmeer_; the _Gondel_; the

_Vischboeiertje_; the _Woudrichemsch Vischschuitje_; the _Prikschuit_;

the _Steekschuit van de Biesbosch_ and the _Strooperschuitje_.

Many rowboats of the most varied types, as well as old “botters” no

longer fit for sea, and “schokkers” from the Zuiderzee, serve also for

fishing on the inland navigable highways.
