EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the crew of a modern purse seiner takes a well-deserved break in a picturesque Cornish harbor. The men, dressed in woolly anoraks and peaked caps, huddle together against the cool, damp sea air. Their clothing, a combination of tartan workwear and waterproof parkas, is typical of the insulating layers needed to withstand the harsh conditions of their industry. A purse seiner is a type of fishing vessel that uses a long, flat net, known as a seine net, to encircle schools of fish. The net, which resembles a fence with weights on the bottom, is drawn in to trap the fish within. The name "purse" comes from the large net bag, or "purse," that is used to collect the catch. Despite the peaceful scene depicted in the photograph, the work of a purse seiner is physically demanding and often dangerous. The crew must work quickly and efficiently to set and retrieve the net, and must be prepared for sudden changes in weather and sea conditions. The 1970s were a time of significant change in the fishing industry, with advances in technology and the introduction of new fishing methods. However, the traditional methods and clothing of the past, such as those seen in this photograph, continued to be an essential part of the fishermen's daily lives. The photograph captures a moment of respite for the crew, as they gather around a small fire and share stories of their latest catch. The scene is one of camaraderie and shared experience, a testament to the enduring tradition of fishing in Cornwall and the close-knit communities that have sustained it for generations.
