Such a beautiful film, showing Peel’s herring fishing industry from past to present. Love hearing the soft Manx accents. Wonderful.

After gorging myself on T T films this last week I came across this delightful film. I was born in Port St Mary I remember similar scenes in the 1940s 64 boats, the girls gutting and salting down the fish into barrels. P S M had two kipper smoke houses then. All this died out in the 1950s Thank you from New Zealand

In 1968 my ship visited San Francisco. Hippies everywhere!. Had a meal of scallops and fries and asked where the scallops came from. Manx scallops was the reply. They were actually queenies.
