About MeOne of a group of photographs taken for inclusion in the book Oil Rush published in 1975. The images are a snapshot of the activity and its impact upon Aberdeen and the wider area.
In the mid 1970's Aberdeen still had a large amount of whitefish landed and the fish market was a busy place. The advent, soon after this image was captured, of oil higher berthing rates at the harbour and the low profit margins of fishing combined to bring this traditional activity at the harbour to an end.
