Description
Tucking a pilchard seine was when an exceptionally large catch was netted. The "tucker" was a smaller net used to keep the bulk of the catch in the main net (centre of picture) whilst the main catch was carted away. In this case a week's work by all the horses and carts which could be mustered. This was reputedly one of the biggest "landings" recorded in this area. It was in the 1920s.
In the left hand boat is W. F. Rowe and T. Jose, in the right hand boat far right P. Jackson and J. Rowe.
