Title
Matthews' Quay
Description
A photograph taken from Point Law looking onto Matthew's Quay and Albert Basin with a small amount of the Fish Market visible on the far left. The photo depicts steam trawlers moored at Point Law with merchant vessels alongside Matthew's Quay. Construction work of what is possibly a warehouse can also be seen taking place on Matthew's Quay. To the left, the rear of Robert Millar & Co., timber merchant, is visible on Commercial Quay. Seen in the photo is the Cadella (LH248). The Granton Trawlers website states this boat was built by Cochrane & Sons Ltd, Selby in 1913 and initially named Pearl. In 1922 it was renamed to Cadella and in 1946 it was registered as LH248, as shown here. It was broken up for scrap in 1957. Seen to the left of Cadella is the Lynburn (A470). It was built by Cox & Co. Engineering, Falmouth. during 1919 for the Admiralty Service and was initially called the Henry Cory. It went through multiple owners in different parts of the UK but eventually ended up in Aberdeen in the possession of Woodburn (Fishing) Ltd. where it was re-registered as Lynburn A470 in 1947. The presence of the aforementioned vessels dates this image to on or around 1947.
