Albert Quay

A long shot of trawlers moored along Albert Quay. Pedestrians and horse drawn carts can also be seen.

One the trawlers is the James Pitchers. It was built by Hall, Russell & Company in 1911. It has an entry on the Aberdeen Built Ships website here. It was requisitioned in WWI as a minesweeper and later left town for England and South Africa. It was wrecked on Robben Island in 1924.

The boat being in Aberdeen suggests this photograph was taken during the 1910s.

Behind the James Pitchers is the A194 Coningsby. The Milford Trawlers website (link here) states that the boat was built by Smith's Docks Co., North Shields, in 1906. It was also requisitioned as a minesweeper and fished out of Aberdeen for a short time after the war.
