1893 Caps Cottage Crew Isle Mull Shingle
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of the crew of the fishing boat, Enngusta, in the late 1890s on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. The rugged landscape of the island's shores serves as a backdrop to this intimate scene, with the crew gathered around a small hut or cottage, likely used as a makeshift shelter or storage area. The men, dressed in their uniforms of caps and heavy coats, huddle together, perhaps sharing stories or planning their next catch. A young boy, dressed in a similar cap, stands off to the side, observing the older men with a curious expression. The hillside behind them rises steeply, dotted with trees and covered in shingle, adding to the sense of isolation and ruggedness. The boat itself, the Enngusta, is visible in the foreground, its sails furled and its hull resting on the shingle. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these hardworking men and boys, who braved the unforgiving sea and weather to provide for their community in the late 19th century. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is part of The Japics Historic Photography Collection and offers a valuable record of Scotland's rich maritime heritage.
