This is a fisherman's pullover called a gansey. It is specially knitted to be both warm and hardwearing. Ganseys had different patterns depending on where the fisherman who wore it came from. This gansey has double knitted collar, cuffs and welt. The pattern covers front and back chest and the top of the arms and consists of five bands of hen's claw stitch alternating with five bands of moss stitch. Members of the Cullercoats lifeboat (Rocket) brigade wore this kind of pattern.
