The _Haringschuit_ (boat used in the herring fishery) may be considered
a large “Punter” or a small “Schokker” with less freeboard.
Hence there is no doubt that the old “Schokker”, the “Haringschuit”
and the “Punter” belong to the same family. The “Schokker” is
distinguished from the others by its higher and more bluff bow, given
to it by reason of the more distant trips on the Zuyderzee and the
North Sea for which it was intended.
