The L. A. DUNTON represents the height of development among the all-sail fishing vessels of the Northeast, before draggers like the Museum's ROAnn made them obsolete. Fishing with hooks and lines handled by hardy dorymen, these fishing schooners combined the best features of speed, maneuverability, and stability.
