EDITORS COMMENTS
November 1912: A Glimpse into the Daily Lives of Scottish Fisherwives This evocative image captures a moment in the lives of Scottish fisherwives as they dedicate their dinner hour to knitting warm jerseys for their hardworking husbands and fellow fishermen. The scene unfolds in a cozy, dimly lit room, filled with the warm glow of a fireplace and the soft clatter of knitting needles. The women, dressed in their traditional attire of aprons, boots, and gaiters, are fully engrossed in their work, their faces reflecting a deep sense of focus and determination. The herring season was a crucial time for the fishing communities of Scotland, and the women played an essential role in supporting their families and the industry. Knitting jerseies was a common pastime during the long winter months when the fishermen were out at sea, and the women would often work in groups, known as 'awa, fra, hame' or 'away from home,' to make the most of their time. The jerseys were not only essential for keeping the fishermen warm in the harsh North Sea conditions but also served as a symbol of love and support from their wives and families. The women would often knit the jerseys using the finest wool, sourced from the local sheep, and intricately designed with patterns that reflected their Scottish heritage. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of these resilient and resourceful women, who played a vital role in the fishing industry and the Scottish community during the early 1900s. The image captures the spirit of collaboration, dedication, and love that defined the lives of these Scottish fisherwives, who worked tirelessly to provide for their families and support their husbands in their dangerous and demanding profession.
