EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling herring industry in Port St Mary, Isle of Man, during the year 1920. The image captures a moment in time when women played an integral role in this thriving maritime trade. Standing outside against the backdrop of the picturesque harbour, a group of hardworking females can be seen wearing traditional headscarves and headdresses as they engage in their daily tasks. The scene exudes both strength and resilience as these women contribute to the local economy by processing and preparing freshly caught herring for market. Their expertise is evident as they skillfully handle each fish with precision and care. The sea, a prominent geographical feature surrounding them, serves as a reminder of their deep connection to nature's bounty. This photograph not only documents an important chapter in Port St Mary's history but also highlights the significant role that women played within this industry. It symbolizes their determination to succeed despite societal norms at that time. Preserved by The Print Collector, this remarkable snapshot provides us with a glimpse into life on the Isle of Man nearly a century ago. It serves as a testament to human perseverance and reminds us of our rich heritage rooted in hard work and dedication.
