Das Reykjavik Maritime Museum zeigt in der Ausstellung „Fish & folk – 150 years of fisheries“, wie sich Islands Fischerei seit dem späten 19. Jhd von einfachen Ruderbooten zu modernen Fangschiffen entwickelt hat. Zu sehen sind u.a. originale Ausrüstungsgegenstände, Navigationsinstrumente, Netze, Kleidung und detailgetreue Schiffsmodelle. Die Ausstellung beleuchtet nicht nur technische Fortschritte, sondern auch die Lebensumstände der Fischer und die zentrale Bedeutung der Fischerei für Islands Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft.

Living back home in Scotland I've been visiting local haunts I hadn't seen for 20 years and have been pleasantly reassured to find the majority as vibrant and welcoming as I remember. There is little evidence of the level of decay prevalent elsewhere in the UK.

Here's Arbroath Harbour snapped on a quick visit last week. Still working. Still fishing.

Still that wonderful smell of slowly smoking haddock hanging in the air.

🚨Hey, #oceans #oceansHSTM peeps!🚨

New, very #interdisciplinary project looking for researchers in #architecture , #biology , #oceanography , #FishingHistory , & related fields "willing to mix theory & practice in a critical & imaginative way."

Nice to see a project that wants both scientists *and* historians (& architects)!

Another interesting place to go though the boatyard is being cleared of the old boats. It sits on the banks of the River Dee looking over to Wales. If only these old boats could talk... #mastophoto #mastophotography #oldboats #Boats #FishingBoat #RiverDee #Wales #ViewOfWales #picturesque #Rewilding #ForgottenBoats #FishingHistory #Historical
