"Capturing the Bounty of the Sea: A Glimpse into Lobster Pots Through Time" Step back in time to June 1903, where Bill Harvey meticulously inspects fishing nets amidst the picturesque backdrop of Porthgwarra, Cornwall. The air is filled with anticipation as lobster pots line the quayside at Arbroath Harbour in Angus, Scotland. As summer evenings unfold, low tide reveals a stunning sight - lobster pots adorning the harbour wall while yachts rest on the sandy beach. Transporting us further back to 1890, Aldwick Beach becomes a hub of activity with its array dotting the shoreline. Stormy skies cast an enchanting aura over St. Monans Harbour in Fife, Scotland. The interplay between nature's fury and man's resilience is evident as lobster pots stand tall against turbulent waters. Bill Harvey takes center stage once again aboard his trusty fishing boat Alpha in Porthgwarra, Cornwall. His dedication to his craft shines through as he mends a lobster pot with utmost care. From Shanklin Bay on The Isle of Wight Illustrated comes a vibrant depiction of seaside life featuring these iconic traps that have stood the test of time. Roundstone Harbour in Connemara County Galway offers another glimpse into Ireland's rich maritime heritage with its neatly arranged lobsters pots awaiting their next catch. At dawn, we find ourselves gazing out to sea from a stone slipway. Lobster pots and ropes serve as foreground elements against an awe-inspiring view that captivates our senses. "The Home Squadron, " captured by John Robertson Reid around 1930 but set in 1903, showcases yet another facet of lobster pot history - their presence among naval vessels evoking thoughts of adventure and exploration beyond coastal shores. In this captivating journey through time and space, we witness Bill Harvey tirelessly inspecting fishing nets once more at Porthgwarra, Cornwall.
