Lobster fisher's hut on South Uist, Hebrides
3322 A print of a George Washington Wilson photograph showing a lobster fisher's hut.
The meagre existence of crofters in the vast landscapes of Hebridean islands is demonstrated vividly in the South Uist images of the huts used by lobster fishermen and kelp makers which are partially dug into the ground as protection from the wind. Fishermen's huts on Orkney
3324 A print of a George Washington Wilson photograph showing fishermen's huts in the area of Stenness, Orkney. Albert Quay
3337 A scene of industry at the end of Albert Quay.
Fishermen can be seen unloading crans of herring from their steam drifters into barrels on horse drawn carts.
Given the location, some way from the more hygienic fish market, and the rough and ready barrels, these may be condemned, waste fish, heading to nearby chemical works to be converted into fishmeal.
Looking east, the photograph shows the ferry office in the background on the right. Between the carts part of a pontoon dock marked Aberdeen can be seen in the distance.
The photograph was likely taken around the 1920s. |
