Origin of term Hooker

"Origin of term 'HOOKER' In the 1700s Fells Point, Maryland was one of the largest shipbuilding centers on the U.S. East Coast. The peninsula of Fells Point (on a 1700's map) was shaped like a fish HOOK. Sailors generally look forward to returning to their home port, looking forward to spending time with the "HOOKERS". http://www.prattlibrary.org/" I removed the above from the page, since it seems very badly sourced, and was improperly formatted. If someone verifies, and properly sources it, feel free to add it back.85.138.94.216 (talk) 16:14, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
