Fishermen in Friendship and neighboring Bremen, Maine Bremen collectively originated the design, one influenced by the fishing sailboats of Gloucester, Massachusetts , particularly the schooner Fredonia of 1889. Although familiar as a pleasure craft today, the Friendship sloop was the traditional fishing boat used off the coast of Maine , especially for lobstering, until the introduction of the gasoline engine early in the 20th century. Friendship area boat builder Wilbur A. Morse produced many examples from the 1880s to the 1910s. One man could manage its single masted rig and haul traps unassisted, yet the boat could carry sizable loads. With an open cockpit aft, and a small forward cabin outfitted with bunks and a stove, it made fishing during cold weather much less arduous than in an open boat. In the 1880 s these sloops ranged from 16 20 feet long but over time they became significantly larger. Modern reproductions, both wood en and fiberglass , remain popular among enthusiasts. Friendship sloops are not identical in size or shape, but they share a common design and appear similar. All are Gaff rig gaff rigged , with a mainsail , a staysail and normally a jib . They may additionally have a topmast with a main topsail and jib topsail flying jib . They all have a full keel , an elliptical stern and a bowsprit . They can range from 21 to 50 but most are between 25 and 31 in length on deck .

They are a descendant of shoal draft sloop s used in oyster fishing in the shallow waters of New York Bay Image Sandbaggerannie.jpg thumb right Sandbagger Sloop Annie in the 1890s. The term sandbagger refers to the use of sandbags to shift the boat s center of gravity in order to obtain the most power from the sails. In practice, the sandbags were actually filled with gravel in order to keep them from retaining excessive amounts of water. The vessels could be anywhere from 20 to 30 feet in length, but with a sail area disproportionate to their size. They were crewed by between 10 and 15 men. An excellent example of a sandbagger is the sloop Annie sloop Annie , which is maintained by the Mystic Seaport maritime museum.
