As populations have increased and ship designs improved, fishing fleets around the world have grown larger as well. The Deep Sea Trawler is a solid and dependable workhorse of the sea, capable of staying away from port for long periods of time while its crew looks for fish in the deeper regions of the oceans.

When the crews of these ships are ready to bring in the catch, the central mast and standing rigging can be cleared out of the way so that almost the entire length of the ship can be used to work the nets. Crew accommodation below decks is notably cramped, as the large holds are reserved for the catches. Wealthy deep sea fishing companies often employ arcane magical methods to preserve their catches, which are worth a fortune to them in markets around the world.
