Ocean Toiler built at Oulton Broad in 1915, 88.3 x 19.5 x 9.8, 98grt and 26nhp, wood, owned by Bloomfields Ltd South Denes, Great Yarmouth.
Ocean Treasure built Lowestoft 1913, 84.4 x 19.6 x 10.1, 92grt and 25nhp, wood, same owners both Neil Mackay manager in 1932. With the low horse power they are both much more likely to be herring drifters rather than trawlers.
Stephen,they were herring drifters.Thanks for the information.They fished around the Irish Ports as far as i am aware.Its a great picture,would love to id the people,and where it was taken.
I think this picture decipts a Sunday in port when the herring girls and the drifter men had some time off.The boats would not leave port before midnight on Sunday.I am shure many long term relationships started in this way
