It is a descriptive guide to the design and evolution of the Morecambe Bay Prawner, or the Lancashire Nobby. As well as looking at the boat design, it also looks at other regional fishing boats and how they are similar (mainly the west coast of England), the fishing techniques used, and why it evolved. A good read fro those looking for detailed information on regional working boat designs.
