A "'''Gloucester schooner'''" was a specially designed North American schooner of the 19th century used for cod fishing off [[Newfoundland]]. Its hull looked somewhat along the lines of a schooner yacht's, but more sturdily built and it was gaff-rigged on 2 or 3 mastswith up to 3 jibs forward of the foremast, and provision for topsails if required. It carried many "dories" (small 2-man rowboats) stacked on deck for the fishing. It was capable of getting the catch back to port at speed in various weather conditions.
