EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a snapshot of life on a North Sea trawler in the 1960s. Three men are depicted on deck, dressed in their ordinary work clothes - jackets, jumpers, waistcoats, shirts, ties, and even a trilby hat. The scene exudes a sense of hard work and camaraderie among the fishermen as they go about their daily tasks.
One of the men is seen writing on a piece of paper, perhaps keeping track of the day's catch or jotting down important notes for the crew. His focused expression highlights the importance of meticulous record-keeping and business administration even in such rugged and unpredictable environments.
The atmosphere is filled with smoke from cigarettes as some of the men take short breaks to relax and chat with each other. Their hands are tucked into their pockets or gesturing animatedly as they engage in conversation.
This image offers a glimpse into the gritty reality of life at sea for these trawlermen - long hours spent working hard to bring in fresh fish for food while braving the elements and rough waters. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and dedication required to make a living from fishing in one of nature's most unforgiving environments.
