More about this scene
Gorleston stands at the gateway of Yarmouth's harbour overlooking the River Yare and the sea. It had long been an old seafaring port, and it burgeoned into a sizeable town in the 19th century. The fishing fleet, having waited patiently for a breeze, can at last set sail in pursuit of the herring. In the heyday of the industry, the quays would be thronged with fisher girls gutting the catch. Little more than a decade later, most of the sailing vessels had been replaced by steam-driven vessels.
