Description: | A Fishing Smack is a boat used by fishermen. Britain has long been a nation of seafarers, and Victorian marine painters captured the hard life of those who earned their living from the sea. Here, the crew of fisherman unload baskets of fresh fish, and it looks like back-breaking work. There are many other ships in the background indicating busy trade and competition.

There are other boats in the bay. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Ships Seascape Fishing vessels Coastal fishing Fine arts Oil painting Fishing Smack Georgian period Boats Coasts Beaches Men Sailing ships Fishing equipment Sea fishing Landscape Oil Paintings Fisherman Seashore Coastal waters Victorian period Sea water Fishing (industry) Paintings Fish Sailing People Art collections Fish trade | Temporal: | 1800 - 1899
