The real Shrimp Boat, also known as a trawler or a shrimp trawler, is a type of fishing vessel that was designed to catch shrimp in shallow waters. The boats were equipped with a net that was dragged along the seabed, capturing the shrimp as they went. The shrimp were then sorted, cleaned, and stored on board the vessel.

Shrimp boats were first introduced in the early 20th century and quickly became a staple of the fishing industry. They were particularly popular in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic Coast, where shrimp was plentiful and in high demand.

Over time, the design of the shrimp boat evolved, with many vessels being modified to incorporate newer technologies and fishing techniques. However, the classic shrimp boat design remains iconic, and is still recognized today as a symbol of the fishing industry and coastal communities.
