EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage lantern slide capturing the Great Yarmouth herring fishermen in the early 1900s. The image transports us to a bygone era, where hardworking fisherman braved the rough seas to bring in their catch. The fleet of sailing boats, some powered by steam, showcases the ingenuity and determination of these seafaring men.
The print is a snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of Victorian and Edwardian-era fishermen. Their weathered faces tell stories of long days spent at sea, battling against nature to provide for their families and communities. The sight of nets being cast and fish being hauled aboard reminds us of the physical labor required for this demanding profession.
Great Yarmouth has long been known for its fishing industry, and this image captures a pivotal moment in its maritime history. It serves as a tribute to those who risked it all on the open water, facing uncertainty and danger with courage and resilience.
As we admire this piece from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our past and honoring those who came before us. Let this print transport you back in time to an era when herring fishermen ruled the waves off the coast of Great Yarmouth.
