EDITORS COMMENTS
A Bustling Aberdeen Quay: Traditional Trawlers and Fishermen at Work, circa 1900 This evocative photograph captures the hustle and bustle of Aberdeen's quay in the early 1900s, as traditional trawler boats moor alongside the shoreline. The North Sea fishing industry was thriving during this period, and Aberdeen's convenient ports made it an ideal location for fishermen to ply their trade. The image is filled with a sense of industry and hard work. Fishermen in heavy Victorian-era clothing, bundled up against the cold sea air, are seen mending nets and sorting through their catch. The trawlers themselves are a sight to behold, their wooden hulls glistening with the reflection of the water and the rigging and ropes taut against the masts. Despite the apparent abundance of fish, the working conditions for the fishermen were often poor. Long hours, harsh weather, and the ever-present danger of the sea made for a challenging and unforgiving lifestyle. The traditional outfits worn by the fishermen in this photograph serve as a reminder of the humble and hardworking nature of the working class during this era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the fishermen and their families who made their living from the North Sea. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of the fishing industry in Aberdeen's history and the resilience of those who worked on the quay.
