EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling harbor at Wick, a historic fishing town located in the northernmost tip of Scotland, during the 1930s. The harbor, protected by a sturdy breakwater, is filled with an array of fishing boats, each one unique in design and size, reflecting the diverse fleet that once thrived in this region. The boats, with their sails furled and ropes coiled, are docked alongside the quay, their hulls glistening in the sunlight that filters through the misty air. The harbor at Wick has been a vital part of the local community for centuries, providing livelihoods for generations of fishermen and their families. The town's rich fishing heritage is evident in the traditional cottages that line the waterfront, their whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs standing proud against the backdrop of the rugged Caithness coastline. The sea, a constant presence in the lives of the people of Wick, stretches out beyond the harbor, its deep-blue waters dotted with the sails of other fishing boats making their way to and from the rich fishing grounds. The harbor's activity is a testament to the resilience and determination of the local community, who continue to honor the traditions of their ancestors while adapting to the challenges of modern times. This photograph, part of The Lucinda Moore Collection, transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a bustling Scottish harbor in the 1930s.
