EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the early morning scene in Grimsby's No. 2 Fish Dock, Lincolnshire, England, during the 1950s. The large discs in the foreground, used as rollers to stir up the sea bed and catch fish, add a unique touch to the historical marine landscape. The thick mist that blankets the shore adds an air of mystery and tranquility to the scene, as the fishermen go about their daily routine. The fresh catch is being unloaded from the boats and packed in the nearby sheds, while the icy chill of the English morning air can be felt in the atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Grimsby's fishing industry, which has been an integral part of the town's identity for centuries. The large discs, or rollers, were an essential tool in the traditional method of fishing known as 'dredging'. The fishermen would lower the dredge, which consisted of a large net with a weighted bottom, over the side of the boat and drag it along the sea bed, stirring up the sediment and scaring the fish towards the net. The discs were then used to roll the dredge along the sea bed, ensuring that the net was in contact with the sea bed and maximizing the catch. This photograph is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Grimsby fishermen, who braved the harsh English weather and long hours to provide fresh fish to the local community and beyond. The scene is a reminder of the close connection between the people of Grimsby and the sea, and the enduring tradition of fishing that continues to thrive in this historic town.
