Pinky Schooner Eagle Shaming the Gulls by Tom Hoyne in 8"x10" Frame The Eagle was a fishing pinky launched in 1820 from Essex, Massachusetts. The pinky, which originated in Europe in the 1600's, receives its name from its sharp, uplifted or �pinked� stern. After the Revolution improvished American fishermen built inexpensive schooner-rigged pinks to get back to fishing. The design was improved until their seaworthyness in storms became legendary. Pinkies rode rough seas like birds and were favored for offshore mackerel fishing after the invention of the mackerel jig. Several pinks have been built in the last thirty years based on original pinkie designs. Thomas Hoyne, a popular maritime artist who served his naval career in the Pacific Theater, has captured the feel of the fishing fleets, both ships and men. He has an instinctive sense of the poetry of the sea as well as a thorough understanding of the anatomy of oceans, currents, winds, waves and the weight of the water. Taken from his book I have mounted this handsome copy of art by Tom Hoyne in 1981, of the fishing pinkie Eagle 's crew working on her jib in a 8"x10" silver tinted decorative frame under glass.
