Haffboot
A ''Haffboot'' (plural: ''Haffboote'') is the collective term for a type of sailing boat that is used as a fishing or cargo boat on the shallow Baltic Sea coast, in the Bay of Greifswald, the Stettin Lagoon and their neighbouring waterbodies until the 20th century. Using similar or identical designs for the ship's hull and its cargo hold, the fishing boats were built with wet or dry cargo holds. The flushed cargo hold, often called a Corf, ''Bünn'' in the Baltic Sea region, is not sealed hermetically from the water, but is filled with surrounding water. Small holes in the outer skin of the boat enable an exchange of water between the ''bünn'' and the outside water. The fish that are caught can thus be transported live. In a traditional fishing boat without Refrigerator, cooling units, this allowed the time delay between catching the fish and landing them to be extended.

The name is derived from the type of fishing gear used, known as a '' zeese''. The sailing boat is designed for relatively protected, shallow waters. Today ''zeesenboote'' are mainly used for leisure sailing. History ''Zeeskähne'' were being used no later than end of the 15th century as fishing vessels, especially in the area of the Pomeranian ''bodden'' and the Stettin Lagoon. In the Stralsund Chronicle of 1449 Johannes Beckmann writes of ''Zesekahn''. The technical development of the ''Zeesboot'' from the Western Pomeranian ''Zeesekahn'' was encouraged from the second half of the 19th century because many ''Zeesen'' fishermen had travelled abroad by sea in their youth and had been able to become familiar with the sailing practices of other regions.
