A fishing vessel is a boat or ship used to catch fish. I have a boat and love it, do you?
I wish I did, but sadly I do not. I'm more of a jet ski kind of person. Think I can fish from one of those bad boys?
Where there's a will there's a way haha. They say that many kinds of vessels are used in commercial and recreational fishing!
I believe it. I always thought that the huge ships with mechanical arms and giant nets to catch shrimp were amazing.
They are! According to FAO there are four million commercial fishing vessels but not sure how many are the big ships.
Oh, what is the FAO?
Food and Agricultural Organization. They say it's very difficult to estimate the number of recreational boats.
Haha, probably because you can duct tape together several cardboard boxes and call it a recreational boat, and technically you wouldn't be wrong!
Yeah, I suppose your right, especially, with flex seal! Before the 1950s there was almost no standardization of fishing boats.
Oh how could I have forgotten discount Billy Mays and Flex Seal? What does standardization do for boats, exactly?
