EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling North Shields fish quay in September 1935. The image showcases a small group of hardworking fishermen diligently mending their herring nets aboard their drifter. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie as these skilled men come together to repair the tools that sustain their livelihoods. With focused expressions and weathered hands, they meticulously weave and mend each intricate detail, ensuring the durability of their nets for future fishing expeditions. Set against the backdrop of this historic British fishing industry, this photograph encapsulates an era when North Shields was at its prime as a hub for maritime activities. The drifter itself stands tall, symbolizing both resilience and adventure – a vessel that carries these brave souls out into the vast waters in search of abundant catches. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that fishing is not just an occupation but also a way of life for these men. Their dedication to preserving tradition and sustaining their communities shines through every stitch they make. Transporting us back to early 20th century Britain, this evocative print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich maritime heritage while honoring those who have dedicated themselves to such demanding work. It captures not only the essence of North Shields but also pays homage to all fishermen who have braved turbulent seas in pursuit of sustenance for generations past and present.
