EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from October 1932, taken in the bustling port town of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, we witness the arrival of over 3,000 Scottish women, who had travelled from their homeland to participate in the annual herring harvest. The women, dressed in long, waterproof aprons and sturdy boots, are seen gathered in a group, ready to begin their day's work. The herring harvest was a significant event in the fishing industry of Britain during the 1930s. With their husbands and fishermen out at sea, these women, often referred to as "fishwives" or "Scotch fishwives," played a crucial role in the processing and preservation of the herring catch. They were renowned for their ability to gut about forty fish a minute, making them indispensable to the industry. The women in this photograph are a testament to the resilience and hard work that characterized the fishing communities of the time. Their long, rubber wellingtons and aprons protected them from the cold water and the fish slime, while their determined expressions reveal their focus and dedication to their work. The herring harvest was a seasonal event, and the women would typically work long hours, often in challenging conditions. The fish were caught in large nets and brought ashore, where the women would quickly and efficiently gut them, before they were salted, smoked, or pickled for preservation and sale. This photograph captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women and the essential role they played in the fishing industry during the 1930s. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the coastal communities of Britain.
