Boat chain lead by a single electric boat
In the early days, the fishermen went fishing in either sailboat or by manpower. Both of which are not really practical.
Looking at the above picture, the boat at the front is an electric boat. It is towing all the wooden boats trailing behind out into the sea for their fishing activities. Each trip is charged 30 cents.
Most of the fishermen are fishing for wolf-herrings《西刀鱼》. Once the “boat chain” arrives at the open sea suitable for fishing, the fishermen will row the boat on their own to find a good location for catching the wolf-herrings.
When it is time to return, the electric boat will return to bring everyone back.
