Reel History of Britain - Season 1 Episode 9 Episodio 9
Today we're pulling up in Great Yarmouth, once home to the world's largest herring fleet, to look back to the 1920s and the heyday of British fishing. We'll speak to Fred Normandale, whose family have been fishing since the early eighteenth century, and Ronnie King who first went to sea in a steam drifter in 1937. Maritime historian and writer Mike Smylie will tell us about the heyday of herrings before the fish finger got us hooked. And fishing lassie descendant, Irene Watt provides an unexpected musical treat with a sea shanty about the work of her ancestors.
