Légende

The Herring Fleet Leaving the Dee, Aberdeen, 1888. The fishing boats depart from the Albert Basin, in pursuit of shoals of herring which migrate annually from the northern waters of the North Sea. The latter years of the 19th century saw a rapid expansion of the fishing industry at Aberdeen. Every year, tens of thousands of barrels of herring, preserved in brine, were exported to Northern Europe and Russia.
