Witaj Bev!
A very nice view from port.

Well done.
Nice new week.

Hello Bev,
For natural reasons I had never heard of that terrible storm, but I guess the memory of it is still strong in Eyemouth and probably the entire UK. I was surprised to see the memorial monument on the internet. Those figures are much smaller than I imagined from your photos. I was also surprised to see a headline of "Women and Bairns". Another Scandinavian influence on the language. The Swedish word for child/children is "barn". (No connection to an English barn, of course) ;-)
This view on the other hand looks very safe and nice. The boat is a great eye-catcher with its bright colours and rather funny design.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Beverley,
quite a curious boat. The boats in the background seems to be proffesional fishing boats tough. The scenery looks very much at a dutch fishing harbour.
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hello Bev,
A very recognizable story for many fishing villages and almost all of them have a monument to commemorate those who did not return from the sea.
This statue in Eyemouth is very fitting and impressive.
And again n your excellent style has photographed.
My compliments.
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Hi Beverley
Every picture tells a story!
That eye-catching boat is safely home now but the related poignant pics in your wshop carry lots of weight. What a moving and fantastic tribute to those fishermen who made the ultimate sacrifice for their families! Wonderful rendered images with excellent clarity and a first class commentary - thanks again for your time and energy in such fine reportage. Congrats
Best regards

A beutiful photo of the modern fishing boat, but I im also impressed with the sculpture presented in WS, a very emotional sculpture and touching story

Hello Beverley,
A beautiful bright picture but a very sad note.
The fishing profession is still not without its dangers.
It still happens that we hear of a fishing boat that has sunk and whereby the crew is missing. However, the 1881 disaster was disproportionate.
189 fishermen who died in a storm, that's something that marks the town permanently.
I suppose that this number was the crew of different boats.
The large memorial monument informs visitors of the tragedy.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Bev - I hope you are doing well

I also hope the fishermen returned with FISH. I respect your sentiment in your heartfelt note. Indeed these are hardy and brave people - and there is much inner strength within their families. I was a soldier for 20 years and understand the family stress concerning one's profession.

Interesting boat. Not sure what it is designed to catch. Not equipped with lines or nets. Lots of tubs in the back.

Take Care drt100 David

I liked the WS more. but I understand you wanted to show the fishers of today in the post. a tragedy well presented in that monument. this remind me a famous portuguese song of amalia rodrigues, barco negro..about a young woman who fell in love with a fisher and she is waiting for him in the beach. there another brazilian classic of cayme (é doce morrer no mar) where the african godess of the sea took the handsome guy for her and his girlfriend became crazy in the beach.

take care
