Hauling the Boats, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of life on the North East coast at Cullercoats in the late 19th century. Painted by Robert Jobling, this oil sketch beautifully captures a scene filled with both hard work and tender moments. In the foreground, we see a group of men laboriously pulling fishing boats up the sandy beach after a successful day at sea. Their strength and determination are evident as they navigate through the sand, their faces marked by fatigue but also satisfaction. Meanwhile, fishwives trudge away from the shore with baskets laden with freshly caught fish strapped to their backs. The weight they carry symbolizes not only their contribution to their families' livelihoods but also their resilience in an industry dominated by men. Amidst this bustling activity, a young mother patiently waits for her husband's return with her two children by her side. The wind whips through her hair and clothes while grey clouds loom overhead, creating an atmosphere tinged with somberness. However, hope shines through in the form of her little girl dressed in pink—a beacon of light amidst an otherwise muted landscape. This painting transports us back to a time when coastal communities relied on fishing for survival and tells a story of hard work, family bonds, and perseverance against nature's unpredictable forces. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers today.
