Gavin Atkin's weblog for the sort of people who like looking inside boat sheds. It's about old boats, traditional boats, boat building, restoration, the sea and the North Kent Coast
My brother Matt is back, this time with a set of photographs of Casablanca, in Morocco. Most of the boats are made from wood, and the smaller craft with their high prows are very striking, just as they were in Matt’s photos of Agadir.
I’m reminded of the way Grimsby used to be forty-odd years ago. Thanks Matt!
For more of Matt’s photos of the Hong Kong fishing village of Tai O, click here. The round things spread with a pink material are part of the process of manufacturing shrimp paste.
