Back to the serious stuff of memory
The year is 1953: Broch boat Reliance hauling her fleet of drift nets in idyllic weather
Aye looks lik ees n' fer a good shot. must be jist startit t' haul crew are weel doon on on the boords. great picture.
diz at nae bring back guid memories ti yi faither
She was later sold to Burra and renamed Golden Harvest LK 53.
This is not the weather for hauling drifts she's allmost on top of them mizzen down speakes volumes. changing sides all night.
i wonder if you could get a crew to do that now,100 net 2/3 times a week ,treat the skipper with respect and no back chat
Don't know how many nets were shot, but during the Whitby season in the late fifties they worked 6 nights a week.
