When the cod moratorium came into affect in 1992, the boats under construction in Glovertown at the time were designed to fish for cod. Suddenly, by government decree no cod were available. The boat designs had to be changed a little and new equipment added to suit different species, including shrimp and crab. Such boats were called "moratorium boats." The next three are superb examples.
