Fishing vessels are cool. Like boats and stuff, haha
Yeah they are, and they're a big part of the world economy. There are over 4 million vessels dedicated to fishing. Crazy, right?
Absolutely insane! That many boats, JUST for fish?!? | Fishing vessel
A fishing vessel is a boat or ship used to catch fish in the sea, or on a lake or river. Many different kinds of vessels are used in commercial, artisanal and recreational fishing.
The total number of fishing vessels in the world in 2016 was estimated to be about 4.6 million, unchanged from 2014.
