A rodney anchored off the shores of Twillingate, Newfoundland
A rodney or punt is a small Newfoundland wooden boat typically used by one man for hook and line fishing, for squid jigging, for traveling settlement to settlement to shop, or to get out to their powered fishing boats. When towed behind a larger boat as a convenience in going from the larger boat to shore, a rodney was called a go-ashore.
