EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling North Shields Fish Quay in May 1939. The image captures a significant moment during the Rogationtide service, where Canon C. Milner, the esteemed Vicar of Tynemouth Parish Church, is seen blessing the fishing fleet. Amidst a backdrop of sturdy boats and hardworking fishermen preparing for their arduous journeys at sea, Canon Milner stands tall on the quayside. His presence exudes reverence and devotion as he raises his hands towards heaven, invoking divine protection upon these brave souls who risk their lives to provide sustenance for their community. The scene is steeped in tradition and customs that have been passed down through generations. As religion intertwines with industry on this historic quayside, it becomes evident how deeply ingrained faith is within the fabric of everyday life in this close-knit community. This photograph not only serves as a visual testament to religious practices but also highlights the importance placed on unity and support within an industry that relies heavily on nature's whims. It reminds us of simpler times when ceremonies like these brought solace and hope amidst uncertain times. Preserved by NCJ's Memory Lane Prints collection, this evocative snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while honoring those who dedicated themselves to both their profession and spiritual beliefs.
