Landing herring in Stronsay

Circa 1935. Any names please.

[So what happened to the herring, that all this seemed to end so suddenly?]

Comments:
Two reasons for the end of the herring fishing in Stronsay - the 2nd World War started and also the herring migration pattern appeared to change and the catches were very poor.
