Scheepstype

logger

In general terms, vessel powered by a quadrilateral sail which projects forward of the mast. Specifically, a vessel (generally decked and of considerable size) used typically as a drifter and having a single mast which was lowered during fishing; a small steam engine was sometimes fitted for sail- and net-handling. The terms Fifie, Zulu and Scaffie refer to variations within this type, which were unspecified in reports of loss. The puffer has become a Scottish icon; several examples are preserved, notably at the Scottish Fisheries Museum, Anstruther.Als vissersvaartuig voor de drijfnetvisserij werd de logger in Nederland ingevoerd in 1885. De eerste Nederlandse logger werd te Vlaardingen gebouwd in 1886 en had drie masten met gaffeltuig. De volgende logers voerden het tweemast kottertuig.De eerste stalen logger, gebouwd te Vlaardingen in 1890, had een rechte verticaal staande voorstewven met ronde voet en een overhangend achterschip met rond hek. De laatste zeilloger verdween in 1930. (MARDOC)
