Title
Pocra Quay
Description
This is a photograph taken from the Pocra Quay looking south-east across the harbour. The hill of Balnagask is visible in the background. The image depicts a line of steam drifters, which were primarily used to catch herring. A number of ships registered in Banff are visible with drifter <i>Winner</i> (BF1805) in the front. It was built in 1905 by William Geddes for John, James and Peter Reid from Portgordon. Between 1915-1919, during the World War I it was a part of Admiralty Service under the number 3153. It served as a net vessel, which laid out anti-submarine or anti-torpedo nets. The ship belonged to the Reid family until it was broken up in 1952 and is known as the last Portgordon drifter.
