In the 18th century, the fishing hooker was a common seagoing vessel in Dutch fisheries and merchant shipping. This single-masted ship had a robust, carvel-built, round-bilge keel with sharp lines in the stern. It was known for its broad bow and stern. The name 'hooker' is derived from the fishing method using hooks or 'houcken'.
Besides fishing, the hooker was also used for merchant shipping. For example, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) included hooker ships in its fleet in the 17th century. These ships were used, among other things, as herring hunters and for transporting salt for the Enkhuizen fishing fleet.
