“Chinese junk ‘Amoy’ in Richardson Bay - Sausalito. Photographer unknown.
A report in July 1897 gave the following description of the Chinese shrimpers:
“The … boat is of Chinese make and pattern and is 40 feet long by 10 feet on the beam, it carries a 30-foot mast, which bears a typical Chinese sail. The crew is invariably made up of five men. The fishing is done by means of bag nets made in China… . Each net is about 20 feet across its mouth, and narrows quickly into a narrow bag about 40 feet long…
“Each boat operates from twenty to thirty nets, which are set on the bottom with their mouths against the current… . The nets are set, … usually at low tide and taken up again at the next high tide…."
