In "Gloucester Mackerel Seiners," the schooner is on its way to mackerel fishing grounds. Once near a school of fish, a dory and a seine boat will be launched and the schooner will heave-to or sail slowly nearby. The dory crew will hold the end of the seining net and serve as a placemark for the seine boat. They will encircle the school, dropping lengths of net into the water along the way. When the seine boat returns to the dory, the seine boat crew will "purse the seine," pulling a line at the net's bottom and creating a bag shape. Then, the net will be hauled in from the top, called "drying up the net," to reduce the circumference. The schooner will then move in on the opposite side of the net and the mackerel will be scooped up with hand nets and stored in the schooner's hold. - CB

ABOUT EMAILING FOR PRICE:
1. Once an item is "sold out" and only available thru "secondary" or "resale" sources, pricing can vary day by day or hour by hour as resales occur. In such instances, the prices you see on our website may represent the last of those items sold as opposed to today's price. That is why we often tell you to "email" for pricing. And that is why prices often change without notice.
2. We apologize that there are some artists who do not allow on-line listings of their prices.
In either event, when you email for pricing, we ask that you include your location and phone number in order to get back to you during appropriate hours so we can accomodate the needs of people different time zones. We do not share your information with anyone. If you don't hear back from us within 24 hours, please check your spam folder or feel free to call us at 440-255-1200 / 800-621-1141.
