EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at Quay in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, during the herring harvest of 1905. The scene is filled with the sights and sounds of the steam drifters, their hulls painted in bold colors and their rigging stretched taut against the wind. The boats, which were an essential part of the local fishing industry during the early 1900s, were used to drift with the currents and scoop up schools of herring with large nets. The curiously shaped double baskets on the quay floor, known as lasts, are where the herring would be carefully placed once they were caught. During the herring season, an impressive 38,700 fish would be caught, cleaned, and prepared for transportation to various markets and consumers. The quay at Great Yarmouth was a hive of activity during the herring season, with boats coming and going, fishermen working tirelessly, and the smell of fresh fish filling the air. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of the herring fishery to the local economy and community in Great Yarmouth. The industry played a significant role in the region's trade and food supply, making it a vital part of Britain's maritime history. This image is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the fishermen and their crews, who braved the elements to bring in their catch and contribute to the thriving industry of the early 1900s.
