The men on the herring drifter Kindred Star out in the North Sea from Lowestoft
The men on the herring drifter Kindred Star out in the North Sea from Lowestoft, haul in their nets on their last voyage before Christmas with another of the fine hauls they have been getting lately to help ease the food situation. The 136 drifters working from Lowestoft have landed 144, 000 cans of herring during the ten-week season roughly 108, 000, 000 fish. During those ten weeks the men of the Kindred Star, like most of their comrades on the other drifters, have spent only nine nights ashore. December 1947 P004152

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to December 1947, where the brave men of the herring drifter Kindred Star embark on their final voyage before Christmas in the vast expanse of the North Sea. As they haul in their nets with sheer determination etched on their faces, it is evident that these skilled fishermen have been blessed with yet another bountiful catch. During a ten-week season filled with relentless hard work and sacrifice, these valiant sailors have played a crucial role in easing the food situation by landing an astonishing 144,000 cans of herring from the depths below. To put it into perspective, this equates to approximately 108 million fish! Such dedication and resilience deserve our utmost admiration. It is worth noting that throughout those grueling ten weeks at sea, these men have only spent nine precious nights ashore. Their commitment to providing sustenance for others knows no bounds as they battle against treacherous waves and unpredictable weather conditions. This poignant image captures not just a snapshot of history but also pays homage to an entire industry built upon bravery and perseverance. The fishing boats bobbing gently amidst the vastness of the sea serve as a reminder of both man's reliance on nature's resources and his indomitable spirit when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Memory Lane Prints, let us take a moment to honor these unsung heroes who braved the elements so that others may be nourished.
