Scope note
Dutch marine fishing vessel used on the North Sea, particularly for herring and coastal fishing. These were flat-bottomed and blunt at both ends, and were fitted with sails. A bomschuit could be moved to and from the shoreline using oxen during low tide to account for the lack of good harbors in the Netherlands. In common use from ca. 1700 until 1918 and originated from the 'pink' type of ship.
