One of the three fishing boats of unusual (to me) archetecture and configuration that I say in the lower Chesapeake Bay off Virginia Beach, the other two being the Lancaster and the Smugglers Point. May 25, 2007.  These three ships are menhaden seiners and use two small boats to set the seine and then when they are ready to land the catch they pump it in with the pumping apparatus midships. Thanks to Ninjapadra for identification of these ships and an explanation of how they work.
