Oyster schooner

An oyster schooner is a type of traditional fishing boat specifically designed for the harvesting of oysters.

Typically, an oyster schooner was a gaff-rigged two-masted schooner akin to the Dorchester schooner.

They were used in the past in Delaware Bay until a blight killed most of the oysters in that area.
