EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Landing Herring at Minehead, Somerset in 1904. The quayside is filled with activity as fishermen carefully unload their catch from the boats, each fish expertly placed into woven baskets. The fleet of boats, seen setting out in the inset image, dots the horizon, ready to cast their nets and repeat the process. Minehead, a historic port town on the Bristol Channel, has a rich maritime history, with herring fishing being a significant industry. The town's location and the abundance of herring in the waters made it an ideal place for fishing communities to thrive. The scene is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the local fishermen, who braved the elements to provide food for their communities and contribute to the local economy. The quay, with its dock and harbour, was the hub of activity, where the catch was landed, weighed, and distributed to markets and consumers. The photograph also showcases the simplicity of the fishing methods used at the time. The boats, with their sails set, were the primary means of transportation for the fishermen, and the baskets, made from natural materials, were used to transport the fish from the boats to the quayside. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the fishermen and their communities, and the importance of the fishing industry to Minehead and Somerset.
