EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of homecoming for the trawler Ocean Reward as it sails into Bridlington harbour in the North Sea, circa 1987. The grey, moody sky above the pierhead and pier reflects the raw and unpredictable nature of the marine environment that the seafarer and his crew have braved during their offshore journey. The trawler, with its bow cutting through the waves, exudes a sense of determination and resilience as it returns to the safety and familiarity of the harbour. The white foam at the bow and the spray of the waves against the hull add texture and depth to the image, while the clouds in the sky hint at the ever-changing weather conditions that are a constant part of life at sea. The trawler's homecoming is a poignant reminder of the nautical traditions and the close-knit community that exists within the maritime world. The photograph transports us back to the 1980s, a time when seafaring was an integral part of the coastal economy and way of life in Bridlington.
