WL18 'Fasant'Peter Tolsma and IJsbrand Dijkstra write in the book "The mussel barge WL18 'Fasant', a true "Lemmer yacht" (2020):We know that in 1916/1917 two Zeelanders each ordered a new mussel barge from Gebr. De Boer in Lemmer. They are both fishermen who, besides using the ships for mussel farming in Zeeland itself, particularly want to use them for harvesting mussel seed in the Wadden Sea and then transport it quickly to their mussel plots in Zeeland.The fishermen in question are: P. Verschraegen. He orders the 'Fasant', referred to in the shipyard book as a motor barge with yard number 173, and the Gebroeders Schot. They have the motor fishing barge 'Maria Cristina' built with yard number 176.The research into the origin is extensively described in the bookIt is interesting to see that thanks to a lot of research, the client and the transition of ship owners over time could be clearly determined. Also, the first name and the definitive construction date of the ship have now become clear. This was made possible by various sources, the shipyard book, fisheries register, ship cadastre, and Kromhout register.The name was: 'Fasant' and the year of construction 1916. Sometimes this name is spelled differently as Fazant, but in the Zeeland Fisheries Register it is clearly spelled with an "s". Therefore, IJsbrand and Alda give the ship its original name FASANT back in 2020, alongside the fishing number WL18.The Mussel BargeA mussel barge is a slightly wider and fuller aft Lemsteraak, slightly less deep-draft than the other Lemsteraken, specially designed for transporting mussel seed and mussels from the Zuiderzee and the Wadden Sea to Zeeland. A number of Zeeland fishermen made these trips annually to be able to sow that seed in their own plots in Zeeland. There, the mussels grew further and, after being watered several times, were harvested and traded. The Lemster mussel barge turned out to be a fast sailor and a very manageable ship compared to the Hengsten and Hoogaarsen, which were the usual Zeeland fishing vessels referred to as 'Lemmer yachts'.Based on the fact that a significant number of these ships were in Bruinisse, they were also referred to as 'Bruinisse yachts'. The word yacht here is derived from the old-fashioned meaning of 'hunting', which had the meaning of 'sailing fast'. According to reports, it saved the fishermen, who sailed to and from the Wadden Sea from Zeeland, a full day to complete this journey. And of course, this speed was important for taking the mussels to the market. It is no wonder that a significant number of Zeelanders ordered a mussel barge from De Boer in Lemmer, Stapel in Enkhuizen, Appelo in Zwartsluis, and Van Goor in Kampen. In Zeeland itself, as a result of these barges, the idea arose among shipbuilders to equip their own ships, suitable for it, with a similar stern. This is how the Lemmer hengst was created.
