EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Kilkeel Harbour in County Down, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The photograph showcases a breathtaking tide out view of the traditional fishing boats and the quaint buildings on the pier. The rugged coastline, dotted with rocks and pebbles, adds to the raw beauty of the scene. Located in the heart of County Down, Kilkeel is a historic fishing town renowned for its rich maritime heritage. The harbour has been a vital source of livelihood for generations of local fishermen, who braved the North Atlantic waters to bring home their catch. The boats, with their colorful sails and intricate designs, reflect the resilience and ingenuity of the community. The buildings on the pier, with their weathered facades and rustic charm, tell tales of a bygone era. The chimneys of the factories and the smoke stacks of the steam trawlers once belched out plumes of black smoke, signaling the bustling activity of the harbour. The scene is a testament to the industrious spirit of the people of Kilkeel, who turned the harsh coastal conditions to their advantage. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the connection between the people and the sea was stronger than ever. The image is a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the importance of preserving our maritime heritage for future generations.
