Title
Torry
Description
This wide shot has been taken at "Maritime Strangers Rest," where the point of The Esplanade and Point Law meet. Torry Harbour is in the background, with its leading lighthouse on the left. A large fifie with two men aboard tows a smaller boat. Engineering is taking place in the right side of the background, in front of the fish curing yards. This could possibly be the construction of Mr. J. W. Cowie's herring barrel factory, placing the image no earlier than 1905. The <I>Aberdeen People's Journal</I> of 11th November 1905 mentions the acquisition of a site for the herring barrel factory.
