Torry
Description
This photo shows the construction of the new harbour at Torry in the late 1890s. Work began in early 1896 and the main harbour was completed by July 1897. Details of the project can be read in the <i>Aberdeen Journal</i> of 9th July 1897, page 4. The image faces South-East towards the more easternly of the two leading lighthouse in Torry's harbour mouth. Sail driven fishing boats line the quay, and a steam bucket dredger works in the basin. The new harbour was primarily built to increase accommodation and the security of the boats moored within.
