Arbroath Harbour this afternoon.
I've never seen this boat moored in the harbour before, I'm not sure why it was there today, probably just visiting. Very nice two mast sailing boat, just wish I had been there when the sails were up instead of folded away.
Tom says this boat is big enough for people to live on and travel to different ports, which is also suggested by the bicycle on it. The Captain's quarters are in the stern. This boat may be fairly old.
Thanks Bennett, I thought it was an nineteenth century vessel of some sort but not sure exactly what. It is similar to the traditional fishing boat like 'The Reaper' see here http://www.scotfishmuseum.org/reaper/ and here http://forgetmenot525.multiply.com/photos/album/120/ShipsBoats_Arbroath_Reaper but there are real differences, its not a 'Herring drifter' which is what most of the old fishing vessels around here are, so its exact type, use etc is a mystery.............but tell Tom thanks and its nice to know I'm not the only one who loves these old boats and stands wondering about their history.
Yep the herring is landed and smoked here. Traditional wood smoking method still used and they can only be called Arbroath Smokies if they are made here. Want me to send you some? :-)
I was watching an episode of the BBC production 'Coast', that featured that part of the Scottish coast. They were saying that Arbroath applied for and obtained a European ruling that states it can't be called an 'Arbroath Smokie' unless it is sourced from the town itself. I think that's very important to protect the tradition and livelihood of the Arbroath fishermen and smokers.
It's nice seeing all that wood though. It wouldn't be as obvious if the sails were up.
ReplyDeletelol.
Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the wood.
ReplyDeleteWe don't see boats like that around here.
She is so pretty.
The windows are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI want to go sailing now.
ReplyDelete:)
what a lovely ship
ReplyDeleteoh to sail on calm waters with the wind on your face
:)
beautiful ship and great photos
ReplyDeleteThis is, I think, an extraordinary boat. I will ask Tom about it; he knows wooden boats. Magnificent.
ReplyDeleteTom says this boat is big enough for people to live on and travel to different ports, which is also suggested by the bicycle on it. The Captain's quarters are in the stern. This boat may be fairly old.
ReplyDeleteYes, lets all go out for a sail!
ReplyDelete:-)
Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSome nice shots there. I particularly like 3729 and 3734.
ReplyDeleteNice day to be out taking pics. Nice boat too, shame about the sails.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful boat! The others are too. I've often thought I'd like to live on one.

amazing ship
ReplyDeleteDon't see many around like this one these days.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully crafted vessel.
ReplyDeleteI love all that wood.
ReplyDeleteLove how the wood glows in the sunlight.
ReplyDeleteBuilt-in onshore transport :-))
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's privately owned or belongs to a sailing organisation.
ReplyDeleteBig enough to have it's own lifeboat.
ReplyDeleteNice view through the pots.
ReplyDeleteDo they still land the fish here used to make the famous 'smokies' ?
ReplyDeleteYep the herring is landed and smoked here. Traditional wood smoking method still used and they can only be called Arbroath Smokies if they are made here. Want me to send you some? :-)

ReplyDeletethat's right, the 'Arbroath Smokie is protected by the EU along with Cornish pasties from Cornwall, and the Forfar Bridie from Forfar.
ReplyDeletewhat is forfar bridie?
ReplyDeleteand what are "seed cakes" referred to in "the hobbit"?
they sound so good
:)
I'm not familiar with that one. What is it?
ReplyDeleteVery nice Photos dear Loretta. This is a very beautiful Harbour.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
