How it's used
This term is primarily used in literary or descriptive contexts rather than in everyday conversation. It evokes a nostalgic or serene atmosphere, often associated with traditional coastal life or poetry. You will rarely hear it used to describe modern industrial fishing vessels, which typically use high intensity floodlights.
