Charter boat picture

I have a picture I can put under the charter boat section. Do you want me to put it in?--Grander13 (talk) 02:16, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that's an okay picture. Do you know how long it is and what it is trolling for? I entered it into fishing vessel and also to recreational boat fishing --Geronimo20 (talk) 04:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Oldest boat

I removed this hidden comment from the ripple disambiguation page. Its no good for the dab page as it does not have an article But in case it is wanted here, this was the text;

• "Ripple" Oldest UK registered fishing boat. SS19 St Ives. Re-launched Newlyn, Cornwall on 12 October 2007 after a 4 year restoration.

Image

I added an image File:Fishing boat indian ocean.jpg to the article but this was undone and the image removed. It is of much better quality than most of the other images and it shows a traditional boat being used unlike say the image under it which just showed them to be parked at the beach. --Muhammad(talk) 00:33, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

It is understandable, Muhammad, given that you have just uploaded a photo that you took by yourself of people fishing from a boat, that you now want to promote your picture on the main fishing vessel article, and that you also want to promote it as the lead picture on traditional fishing boats. However there are nearly 3,000 other images available on fishing boats at commons that other people have also taken or uploaded. You need to establish what it about your photo that makes it so special, so it stands out against all these other pictures. The image you are proposing appears to be of several people fishing from a catamaran. It is quite a nice picture, but it doesn't illustrate anything of particular relevance. It is not at all clear what your boat even looks like. You have to enlarge and study it to be even clear that it is a catamaran. These articles are about boats, so it is the boats we want to see. It doesn't matter whether people are in them, or even if they are in the water. We want to see their shape and how they are constructed.

Consider what you are doing with these photos. On the fishing vessel article you have put your photo here. And to what purpose? The other photos already there illustrate with considerable clarity what a dugout canoe looks like and what clinker construction looks like on a Norse boat. These clearly illustrate what is discussed in the accompanying text. Now what does putting your photo there achieve apart from making a clutter? How is it further illustrating the accompanying text?

On the traditional fishing boat article you have replaced the lead photo. The lead photo should be the best photo Wikipedia has of a traditional fishing boat. The existing lead, in my view, is a luminous and evocative image. It's true that it is not high resolution, but it works excellently at the article level. There is nothing wrong with your picture, but by comparison it is not interesting. If you are still not happy, I suggest you go through the other 3,000 images available, and see if you can establish what it is that makes your photo better than any of them. Please don't edit war. You can reinstate your photo if you get a consensus from other editors that it is indeed appropriate to do that. --Epipelagic (talk) 06:50, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Amphibious fishing boats

These are not mentioned. A particularly useful type was mentioned in "De Wilde Keuken" (episode: Schelpen). They are used for oyster farming at St. Malo, France. Wheels were used on the vessel which could be heightened above the waterline (using oil pistons) when in sea.

This type can be used to eliminate the need of drydocks. Also very useful for areas without (much) ports (ie Sri Lanka). At present, the ships there are pushed into the water by hand !

Viking ship is not a fishing vessel..

Hi all. As far as I now the Viking ships were never fishing vessels. I dont understand why that section is in the article. I also think the image of the viking ship is not appropriate here. The ship in the picture is a trader or cargo vessel, not a fishing vessel. As far as I understand the history of the ships, they were elarged versions of the small rowing and sailing boats, but the article says its the other way around.

Anyway, the section doesnt belong in this article.

The plate carrée projection is a map projection in which the horizontal coordinate is the longitude and the vertical coordinate is the latitude. The name derives from the French for "flat square". The plate carrée is a special case of the equirectangular projection, which has been in use since the earliest days of spherical cartography: the Roman mathematician Ptolemy attributed its invention to Marinus of Tyre, in around AD 100. This composite satellite image, titled "Blue Marble", was produced by NASA and shows Earth's land surface, shallow water and shaded topography.
