FIFES FISHING INDUSTRY (PB)

This book charts the evolution of Fife's fishing industry through photographs held at the Scottish Fisheries Museum. They cover the period from the 1880s to the present day and inevitably concentrate on the East Neuk fishing villages that dominated Fife's fishing industry. In these images we can see the harbours teeming with boats, the piers busy with herring lasses gutting and packing the fish, carters and coopers, and the shores piled high with baskets and boxes, all revolving around the silver harvest of the sea.
