Trawlers on the South Quay 1982.

From the original negative.

The trawlers are in No. 3 Dock and the North Wall is in the background.

The nearest trawler is ‘Philadelphian’ Z.319. She was built in 1960 as ‘Philadelphian’ GY.636 by Cochrane and Sons of Selby for Sir Thomas Robinson & Sons Ltd. Sold to Belgium in 1977 and reregistered as Z.319 (Zeebrugge). The trawler behind is ‘Jean Helene’ O.315 (Ostend) built in 1935. The trawler at the back is ‘Pindaras’ A.544 (Aberdeen), a stern trawler.

Note: The crane in the picture was demolished in 1984 after 50 years of service.
