EDITORS COMMENTS
Purse Seinors Catching Salmon, Seattle, Washington, USA: A captivating photograph from the early 1910s depicting a traditional fishing technique in action. In this image, a group of skilled fishermen work together to catch salmon using a purse seine net. The purse seine is a large wall of netting, with floats along the top line and a lead line threaded through rings along the bottom. Once a school of fish is located, a small skiff is used to encircle the school with the net. The fishermen then pull the net closed, trapping the fish inside. This technique allows for a large catch in a relatively short amount of time. The scene unfolds on the waters of Puget Sound in Seattle, Washington, USA. The men, dressed in raincoats and boots, work diligently to secure their catch. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of the Pacific Northwest and the traditional methods used by American fishermen to provide for their communities.
