Herring boat
Old wooden herring boat, Djupivogur harbour, Iceland. The herring fishery in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Norway was one of the largest fish stocks in the world until the fishery crashed in the late 1960s. After 1950 traditional herring fisheries were revolutionized by new technologies, larger nets and bigger boats, resulting in a collapse of herring stocks The stocks went from between millions of tons to the border of extinction in a decade putting fishers, boats and processing plants out of business. Careful management with very restricted catches for several decades has resulted in some recovery of the fishery.

on January 10, 2021Oops, typos in the previous comment.....I'm tired; I've been gone since about 7:00 AM and arrived back home about an hour ago. I've been to three cities in search of photo opportunities and found some great ones,; so, mission accomplished.
What I meant is....
The boat in the front seems to be "built Ford tough! i like the composition with the peek-a-boo view of the snowy mountains in the background!
