EDITORS COMMENTS
"A captivating snapshot of the traditional shrimp fishing industry in Flookborough, Morecambe Bay, Cumbria, England, dating back to the 1990s. In this evocative image, a line of shrimp fishermen's trailers are seen lined up on the muddy flats, awaiting the arrival of the low tide. The trailers, each adorned with ropes and shrimp nets, are ready to be towed across the bay by tractors. The scene is bathed in an early morning light, casting long shadows and adding to the serene atmosphere. The wetlands of Morecambe Bay, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, provide a rich and diverse habitat for various species of shrimp, making it an essential fishing ground for local fishermen. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple yet effective gear and equipment used by the fishermen of Flookborough during the 1990s. The image is a testament to the enduring connection between the people of this area and the natural resources of the bay." (Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online)
