Skipper Paul Meen, from Lowestoft, made this amateur record on Super 8 colour film of a fishing expedition on a trawler on the North Sea. Footage includes fishing nets being repaired and then cast out to sea, a huge catch being released on deck – the catch includes a large porpoise that the fisherman quite clumsily returns to the sea, and then fishermen gutting fish. It is a great detailed record of fishermen - all wearing the familiar yellow raincoat, and their work in 1974.
