This print takes us back to the bustling fishing industry of 1937 at Tanners Bank Dene. The image showcases an extraordinary sight - a sea of barrels overflowing with herring, a testament to the incredible abundance of fish from North Shields fish Quay. The sheer magnitude of the catches from 152 drifters is so immense that even these sturdy barrels cannot contain them all. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see diligent workmen laboring alongside their trusty cart and horse, tirelessly unloading barrel after barrel. Their weathered faces tell tales of hard work and dedication as they navigate through this sea of bounty. It is a poignant reminder of the importance that fishing held for communities during this era. The presence of these barrels signifies not just an overflow but also symbolizes the thriving fishing industry that once thrived in Tanners Bank Dene. Each barrel represents countless hours spent by skilled coopers who meticulously crafted them to preserve the precious cargo within. This evocative photograph transports us back to an era when fishing was not only an occupation but also a way of life for many coastal towns. It serves as a powerful tribute to those who dedicated their lives to sustaining this vital industry and reminds us how deeply intertwined humans have been with nature throughout history.
