| Summary: | bully1 n These ['offer' fishing banks] ranged from four to fifteen miles from the land [and] led to the evolution of the 'bully'.The Bonavista Bay bully was a small decked schooner of from twelve to sixteen tons. Initially, they had four lower sails; mainsail, foresail, jib and stay-sail as well as the main topsail and fore topsail. Early in the twentieth century small marine engines were installed and the topsails and topmasts were discarded. The rudder was 'outside', which meant that it was attached directly to the transom and was activated by a long pole through the rudder-head, called the helm or tiller. See cited quotation.
