A '''well smack''' was a type of [[traditional fishing boat]] in use in the [[United Kingdom]] and then the [[Faroe Islands]] between the late 18th century and around 1920. It had a [[Water well|well]] amidships. The well was filled with circulated external water, which kept fish alive until delivered to land and sold.  It was a modified form of a [[smack (ship)|fishing smack]].
