THE “PUNTER” AND THE “GONDEL”.

[Sidenote: III 141]

The _Punter_ is met with in the North of Overijssel as an inland boat.

When of large size, it is used as a fishing boat.

The “Haringschuit” is also met with along the shores of Gelderland, but

on the coasts of North Holland is frequently found a small boat, the

“Vischschuit van Aalsmeer” (fishing boat from Aalsmeer) which resembles

the “Punter” and sails alongside of the _Snik_ or the _Gondel_ (the

old cog) of more massive form, just as solid “Schokkers” are found

elsewhere alongside of the “Punter”.

The “Gondel”, which carries a fish tank, is used however as an inland

craft, on the lakes; it ventures very rarely out to sea. All the same,

the stem which has a slight rake rises quite high.

The same characteristics appear in the “Wierschuitje” of Wieringen

where the “Haringschuit” is also met with.
