Herring drifters at Great Yarmouth in the 1950s
This is how it was at Yarmouth in the 1950s before the heyday of the herring fishing ended. More great pictures from Jack Harrison and a little to read can be found here.
33 Hverdagens menn
A striking old piece of film of Norwegian fishermen at work. The title translates – says Google – as ’33 Everyday Men’. These blokes would sail the4ir boats in any weather, it seems – they don’t look entirely ‘everyday’ to me, and neither does the cameraman!
My thanks to Paul Gilbert for spotting this video.
