Mearns' Quay
Photograph looking east along Mearns' Quay. Multiple trawlers with designations from Aberdeen and Great Yarmouth can be seen along the quayside.

In the photo can be seen the steam trawler Elysian Dawn (A277) which was built in Glasgow by Mackie and Thomson for The Steam Herring Fleet in Aberdeen during 1909. In 1923 it came into the possession of J. Smith in Buckie and was re-registered as BCK424. In 1948 it was broken up.

The ornate granite building on the quay in the distance is one of two Valve House Siphon Outlets of Aberdeen Corporation Sewage Works located on either side of the river.

The presence of the A277 in this photo dates it to 1923 or before.
