Haffboot
Haffboot is a collective term for sailing ship types that were used as fishing or cargo sailors on the flat Baltic coast , in the Greifswalder Bodden , in the Stettiner Haff and in the backwaters of the Oderhaff until the 20th century . With a similar or identical hull construction , the fishing boats had dry or flooded hold . The flooded cargo hold, often called Bünn in the Baltic Sea area , is not hermetically sealed from the sea, but is filled with the surrounding water. Water exchange between Bünn and the surrounding water is possible through fine holes in the outer skin of the ship. The caught fish can be transported in it alive. In the case of a traditional fishing boat without cooling units, the possible time span between catching the fish and landing can be extended. Around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, Haffboats sailed on the Oderhaff, Neuwarper See and in the lower Oder delta . They were built as flat-moving and wide clinker vehicles in small shipyards in Neuwarp , Anklam or Ueckermünde .
Boat types
In relation to the Oderhaff , the following types are summarized under the term Haffboot : Zeeskähne as the once largest of the Haffboot. They were 22 m long, broad and had a shallow draft . The crew usually consisted of three men. Zees barges were usually underway for 48 hours, and fishing was done at night. Other types were Tucker barges , Tweismaker , Polten , inches and Quatzen . The catch was handed over to fishmongers (Quatzner). With their holding vehicles, Quatzen, they regularly drove to the fishing boats and tugboats in order to take over the catch and bring it to the markets. At the same time they supplied the fishermen with provisions and news.
