EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant fishing industry of 1970s England. The image showcases the dedicated crew members of the Hull based stern trawler Kirkella as they diligently repaint their ship's name and number on a sunny day in August 1979. The scene unfolds at the bustling docks of Humber Estuary, where hard work and camaraderie permeate the air. These skilled men, with paintbrushes in hand, meticulously restore their vessel's identity amidst a backdrop of other ships awaiting repairs or preparing for their next voyage. This snapshot captures not only a moment in time but also reflects an entire era when Yorkshire's fishing industry thrived. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who made their living at sea. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost feel the saltwater breeze on our faces and hear snippets of lively conversations between crewmates. It reminds us that behind every successful fishing expedition lies countless hours spent maintaining these mighty vessels – painting being just one aspect among many necessary tasks. Memory Lane Prints has once again preserved history through its timeless collection. This particular print encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone days and admiration for those who contributed to United Kingdom's rich maritime heritage.
