| 35 | SHORT DESCRIPTION: Model of the 140' Grand Banks dory schooner Sherman Zwicker built by Jay S. Hanna. NOTES: Sherman Zwicker was a wooden, auxiliary fishing schooner built in 1942 at the Smith and Rhuland Shipyard in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. She was the last of her type to be built for fishing on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The schooner was built for F. Homer Zwicker of Zwicker and Company. Sherman Zwicker is currently operated by the Maritime Foundation and is based at Hudson River Park's Pier 25 in New York. An restaurant/oyster bar is operated from her decks. NOTES: Text of article published in the Daily Press: The Whaling and Fisheries Room at The Mariners' Museum has now taken on an air of Kipling's "Captains Courageous" that famous novel of fishing on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland at the turn of the century, not to mention also stories by that famous writer James B. Connolly, who used the Grand Banks as the background for his stories of the Gloucester fishermen. As a reminder of these early days of the Grand Banks fishermen of not only Gloucester, Massachusetts but her Nova Scotian counter part, Lunenburg, The Mariners' Museum recently acquired a model of the Grand Bank auxiliary fishing schooner SHERMAN ZWICKER of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia which is now on display in the Whaling and Fisheries Room. The SHERMAN ZWICKER was launched from the yard of Smith & Rhuland in Lunenburg in 1942 for firm of Zwicker & Co. which has been in the fish business since 1789. Unlike her famous predecessors such as the schooner BLUENOSE, she carries no top masts and her sails are but small help to her three hundred horsepower Fairbanks-Morse diesel engine, and are used mainly to steady her in heavy seas when laying to on the banks. When fishing the SHERMAN ZWICKER carried twelve dories on deck, six on each side nested one inside of the other which is accomplished by removing the thwarts. She carried a crew of twenty-seven men, all of whom manned the dories except the skipper, engineer and cook. Each dory carried four tubs of trawl and each tub carried ten lines of trawl each with fifty-five hooks. When all the lines were hitched together it meant that one dory set 4,400 hooks. The total number of baited hooks set by one vessel was over 26,000 or approximately eighteen miles line, all of which has to be baited starting about two o'clock in the morning. When the schooner arrived on the fishing ground and the skipper found the bottom and the tide to his liking, the dories were put over the side. This was done while the vessel was underway, each dory being dropped off a certain distance apart. A buoy equipped with a flag was first put over, then a line and anchor which was attached to the buoy. The line of trawl was attached to the anchor and sent to the bottom white the other member of the dory's crew was rowing the dory, thus setting from one to as much as four miles of line for each dory. It must not be assumed that when the trawl was hauled back that there were codfish or halibut dangling from every hook, for the dog fish and sculpins and bait stealers also had their day. Usually about an hour or two after the trawl had been set, it was under run, the line being hauled from the bottom over the bow of the dory on a roller, the fish being removed, the hooks rebaited and payed out over the stern, all by hand. At the end of the day the trawl was completely taken up and the dories returned to the parent vessel to discharge the fish on the schooner's deck, which was pounded off into pens. The fish were then dressed, by being split and then salted down in the schooners hold, the crew doing all this work themselves. The SHERMAN ZWICKER'S crew did not suffer so much the hazards and discomforts of dory fishing as was the case in the days of Captain Courageous. Not only was the ZWICKER well equipped with auxiliary power and power windlass but she had such sophisticated navigating apparatus as radio direction finder, radio, ship to shore telephone, echo-sounding apparatus and In her later years, radar. In spite of all this, she fished in a method that was around a hundred years old. This type of fishing is gone now, disappearing in the early 1960ls when it was found that men could no longer be obtained to engage in this arduous type of work. Such vessels as the ZWICKER were sold for freighters and some converted into scollop draggers or long liners which set the baited lines of trawl from the vessels deck, a practice which is still continued today off the coasts of Maine and the Maritime Provinces. The dory is also still with us but used as life saving equipment on board the modern trawlers because of its great seaworthiness. Until the middle 1920's the dory fishing vessel was no stranger to the Hampton Roads area. These schooners supplying the Fulton Fish Market in New York City as well as the Connecticut ports of Noank and Stonington, used to put into Chesapeake Bay waters for bait while engaged in blue fishing off the Virginia and North Carolina coasts. Unlike the trawl or longline method these vessels used their dories for handline fishing, each carrying two men, one of whom fished while the other ground chum in a "bait mill" to create a slick on top of the water to attract the blues. These blue fishermen disappeared from the Hampton Roads area in the 1920's. One of these schooners is worthy of note. the RUTH MILDRED, skippered by Nels Soderberg of Brooklyn, New York who brought the RUTH MILDRED down here soon after she was built in 1922. He settled for a time in Gloucester County, Virginia, where he married a Gloucester girl. The old timers in the Gloucester-Mathews area still remember this little schooner lying on the mouth of the North River in Mobjack Bay taking on bunkers or menhaden for blue fish bait. The dory fishing vessel has now disappeared as completely as the snow on the fence but its memory is now perpetuated by the model of the SHERMAN ZWICKER in the fisheries room of The Mariners Museum.
