Viewing Notes:

"Two shots showing steam drifters entering the harbour and steaming up river. The catch is unloaded and then gutted and packed in salt by the fisher girls. The girls leave the Quay in the back of a lorry. There is a shot of a Banff drifter Pitgavenney run aground and the final shot is of the Peterhead drifter 'Olive Branch'. This shows the boat breaking up on the beach." (EAFA Database)
