1987 Clouds Eighties Harbor Homecoming Maritime Nautical Offshore Pier Return Safe Seafarer Seafaring Trawler Wave Pierhead
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the trawler Ocean Reward makes its way back to Bridlington harbour after a long and arduous fishing trip in the North Sea during the 1980s. The pier and pierhead, with their ornate decorations and intricate details, stand proudly against the grey, moody sky, as the trawler's bow slices through the waves, leaving a trail of white foam in its wake. The pier, a familiar sight for local seafarers and their families, serves as a beacon of safety and homecoming after days spent offshore. The trawler, with its weathered hull and rusted metalwork, bears the marks of its hardworking past, while the sails of the nearby yachts add a touch of elegance and contrast to the industrial scene. The clouds overhead gather ominously, hinting at the unpredictable weather that is a constant companion to those who make their living on the sea. The photograph captures the raw beauty and power of the North Sea, as well as the determination and resilience of the seafarers who brave its waters in pursuit of their livelihoods. The return of the trawler to the harbour marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another, as the crew unloads their catch and prepares for the next trip out to sea. This image is a poignant reminder of the rich maritime heritage of Bridlington and the important role that fishing continues to play in the lives of its people.
