Barrel Barrels Crew Fishermen Jetty Norway Norwegian Rigging Rowing 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a fishing community in Sondmore, Orstavik, Norway, circa 1925. The image shows a group of men and boys gathered around a fishing boat at the jetty, preparing for a day at sea. The boat, with its distinctive rigging and large barrels, is being rowed out to deeper waters, ready for the crew to cast their nets. The scene is one of industry and hard work, with the men and boys focused intently on their tasks. The rough texture of the jetty and the choppy waters reflect the harsh conditions that these fishermen faced on a daily basis. Despite the challenges, there is a sense of camaraderie and community among the crew, as they work together to provide for their families and community. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when fishing was a primary industry in Norway and the livelihoods of countless families depended on the bounty of the sea. The boats, barrels, and men in this image are a testament to the resilience and determination of those who lived and worked along the Norwegian coast in the 1920s.
