Amidst the Old Jetty of Broughty Ferry, 19th century oil on canvas brings to life the timeless scene of crab fishing. Fishermen, much like those depicted in "Crab-Fishing" or "Baiting the Line," carefully examine their creels or crab pots, hoping for a bountiful catch. In the UK, from Norfolk's North Norfolk coast at Wells-next-the-Sea to the harbors of Anstruther in Fife and Portmagee in County Kerry, they can a familiar sight. Piled up on the wharf or on the decks of boats, they patiently wait to be filled with crustaceans. As the sun sets and sailing boats dot the horizon, the crab pots continue their role in this age-old tradition, a testament to the enduring connection between the sea and those who rely on it.
