Herring is a small oily fish related to mackerel and pilchards, feeding mainly on plankton, and shoaling in gigantic numbers. It is an abundant food source for many animals including gannets and gulls, cod, bass and sharks, and dolphins, seals and whales.

  • Maritime Heritage: Fishing in Cullercoats
    Maritime Heritage: Fishing in Cullercoats Key Stage: 2 and 3 Summary: Pupils will learn about fishing in the local area of Cullercoats in the north east of England through different activities. By engaging with outdoor education pupils will learn about how the coast has changed and how industry has changed. Pupils will learn visually by engaging in a powerpoint presentations while discussing ideas and will use team work around the harbour to identify the changes. Activity: Slide 1 Introduction slide. Slide 2 Aims of the lesson Slide 3 Introduce the topic of the fishing industry in Cullercoats Slide 4 Explain women’s role in fishing. Ask pupils how the role has changed today. Slide 5-7 Describe how families worked together to help fishermen. Slide 8 Maritime history: The Northumbrian Coble is unique to the north east. Its design has evolved from the Viking ships. The key feature of the Coble is its flat bottom, which means the boat can be landed on the sandy beaches of the north east. The traditional fish that the Coble fishermen chased was the herring. For more information please have a look at our website http://www.taleoftheherring.com/ Slide 9 Ask the students what they think is fished locally. Some examples are: cod, lobster, herring, salmon and edible crab, all of which were locally caught by Cullercoats fishermen. Slide 10 Maritime history: Describe the housing conditions of the fishing families. Houses were small and had many generations of family living together with no running water. If children are local to Cullercoats ask if they recognise the houses.

  • [The Last Gill-Net Boats]
    [The Last Gill-Net Boats] The Maclennan Brothers of Marvig had a long tradition of gill-net herring fishing. Their last three fishing boats were ‘Ebenezer’, ‘Seaflower’ and in 1960 they got the ‘Seafarer’ SY210, a modern fishing boat equipped with all the latest fishing and navigating aids. (Above: The Maclennan brothers. Below: The ‘Seafarer’) Although the gill-net herring fishing method was generally accepted as conserving the herring stocks and the Seafarer was the only gill-net boat engaged continuously on commercial drift-net herring fishing in Lewis and exclusively supplying the local Lewis market for several years leading up to the ban on herring fishing, yet the authorities refused to allow the Seafarer to continue fishing with gill-nets for the local Lewis market. In the circumstances the Maclennan brothers were forced to moor their modern fishing boat in the local anchorage at Marvig, Lochs, and take temporary work ashore for 2 or 3 years while the herring fishing lasted. Officialdom stubbornly refused to modify the ban on the last remaining drift-net crew in the Island. They were treated in the same way as the guilty parties whose catching power was such that they fished the herring clean out of the seas round the Island. It was reckoned that one modern Purser could outfish 500 boats of the type that was in use in the 1840s. One 90 foot Purser landed 968 crans in Shetland on one occasion, while the top shot for a herring drifter was said to be about 100 crans. The average landing of a gill-net drifter might be in the region of 10 or 20 crans of thereabouts.

  • The Transition from Sail to Motor
    The Transition from Sail to Motor The transition from the age of the sail to the motor came in gradually over the first 30 or 40 years of the 20th century. First came the emergence of the steam drifter which made its first successful appearance in Scotland at the end of the 19th century, about 20 years after the launch of the first Zulu fishing boat. Nearly all the steam drifters were built between 1900 and 1914, by which time there were about 900 in Scotland. The continual decline and eventual disappearance of the sail as a means of propulsion for fishing boats was accelerated by the conversion of the sail fishing boats to motor. The first marine engines were installed in fishing boats in Scotland about 1906/07, but it was in the late 1920s before the wholesale conversion of the fishing fleet took place in Lewis. There were virtually no purpose built motor fishing boats in Lewis before the Second World War, the whole fishing fleet consisted of ageing steam drifters and converted sailboats. In 1901 a big Zulu sailboat 80 feet overall cost approximately £700 while a steam drifter cost upwards of £2,500. On top of the initial cost, steam drifters were expensive to run burning up to 20 tons of coal a week, whereas sailboats incurred no expense while at sea. Steam drifters were viable enough during the prosperous period before the First World War, but the loss of the herring market and the inflated cost of coal etc. as a result of the War sealed the fate of the steam drifter.
