(fishing) smack
According to my dictionary:
skøyte 1 subst. f ((fiske)fartøy) (fishing) smack
Goes to the construction of the vessel, with a full deck instead of the open 'sjekte'.
"Skøyte" as a term seems to have come into use around 1840, and is still being used for wooden (fishing) vessels of around 40 - 80 feet in length.

wooden sealer
Not really my area this, but... according to this ref, http://home.online.no/~hahaakon/kahytt.htm Shackelton's boat "Quest" was a treskøyta - and according to Roland Huntford in his book about Shackleton (retrieved from my bookshelf) "Quest" was a wooden sealer (bought in Norway).
