The collection consists of original wooden boats of various
types that have been in use over the past one hundred and forty
years.
Old tools, fishing gear, documents etc bring to live the era of fishing at
the Far Haaf in open boats and the herring fishing at its peak in 1905.
Our Collection
- The boats are displayed realistically on shingle with a mural of beach painted as background.
- From the days of herring fishing one can learn about the gutters and the coupers, seeing the tools they used and the conditions they worked in.
