Antrim Crates Eels Packing Toome
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 1900s in the quaint village of Toome, located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The scene portrays a group of local men meticulously packing eels into crates, preparing them for shipment. The eel fishing industry was a significant economic activity in the area, and the village of Toome was renowned for its eel fishery. The men in the photograph work in unison, each focusing on their task with great concentration. They carefully place the eels into the crates, ensuring they are well-packed to prevent injury during transportation. The eels, glistening with moisture, are a testament to the hard work and dedication of these men. In the background, the bridge at Toome can be seen, adding a sense of place and context to the image. The bridge, a popular landmark in the village, spans the River Bann and connects County Antrim to County Londonderry. The tranquil waters of the river reflect the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the people who lived and worked in Toome during this era. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the village to this day.
