EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a small fishing community in Sheringham, North Norfolk, in the year 1919. The image features a group of local fishermen, huddled around their traditional wooden fishing boat, preparing to set out to sea. The rugged landscape of the North Norfolk coastline is visible in the background, with its rolling waves and pebbled shoreline. At the heart of the scene is a young girl, perhaps the daughter of one of the fishermen, who gazes intently at the boat and the men around her. She wears a simple dress and waders, indicating that she is accustomed to the harsh conditions of the coastal environment. In her hands, she clutches a pair of oars, perhaps anticipating the moment when she will join her father and the other fishermen on their journey out to sea. The fishermen themselves are dressed in heavy coats and hats, bundled up against the cold and damp conditions. They are busy making final preparations to their boat, securing nets and checking their equipment. The boat, with its distinctive shape and intricate carvings, is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the local boatbuilders. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the hardworking fishermen of Sheringham and their close-knit community, as they go about their daily business on the North Norfolk coast in the 1910s. The image captures the raw beauty of the natural environment, the resilience of the people who live there, and the enduring bond between father and daughter.
