These boats are all operating as herring drifters, as opposed to trawlers.

Grimsby Fish Docks
A striking photograph by Ford Jenkins of 11 London Road N., Lowestoft. ‘Grimsby’ is hand-written on the back of the photo. Lowestoft trawlers often operated from Grimsby so the location could well be correct.
The trawler on the left is LT.336. We believe the name to be ‘Coast Breeze’. She was scrapped in 1957.
