EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1910, we see a group of female herring fishers knitting on the dock in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England. The women are gathered around empty buckets, patiently waiting for the return of the fishing boats. Their skilled hands move deftly as they work on their knitting projects, a peaceful scene amidst the bustling activity of the seaside town.
The image captures a moment in time when women played an essential role in the fishing industry, contributing to both the labor and economy of their community. These strong and resilient women embody the spirit of hard work and dedication as they wait for their husbands or family members to return with their catch.
The photograph by Samuel Coupe Fox (?), now housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, offers a glimpse into a bygone era when life revolved around the sea and its bounty. It serves as a reminder of the important role that women have always played in traditionally male-dominated industries.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when patience was not just a virtue but a way of life for these female herring fishers on the docks of Scarborough.
