EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the 1910s, showcasing the traditional technique of Sierra Leonean fishermen as they meticulously create a seine net. A seine net is a large, flat fishing net that hangs in the water due to weights along the bottom edge and floats along the top. The fishermen in this image are expertly weaving together the interconnected meshes of the net, using a combination of sewing and tying knots. The scene takes place on the western coast of Africa, in the country of Sierra Leone. The men work intently, focusing on their task at hand, their expressions reflecting a deep connection to their craft and the importance of their community's fishing traditions. The net they are creating will be used to encircle schools of fish, with the boat driving around the fish in a circle to trap them within the net. The intricate process of making a seine net is a testament to the skill and expertise of these African fishermen. The netting technique is passed down through generations, ensuring that this traditional method continues to thrive. The net, once completed, will provide sustenance for the community, contributing to their livelihoods and the overall food security of the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sierra Leone and the importance of its fishing traditions. The image is a poignant reminder of the connection between people, their communities, and the natural world, as they work together to provide for their families and preserve their way of life.
