Old Photograph Fishing Boats South Harbour Peterhead Scotland

Old photograph of fishing boats in the South harbour in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This harbour was developed in the 16th century when a bulwark was built to provide shelter, but the configuration of the present harbour dates from improvements in the 18th and 19th centuries. Using Smeaton’s proposals of 1772, existing piers were rebuilt, the south and west piers were constructed and the harbour was deepened under John Gwyn’s superintendence.
