THEIR HOMES AT NEWHAVEN AND
THEIR CUSTOMS.
A fiRATHIC DESCRIPTION OF THEIR MODE
OF RIFE—SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
AN HONEST AND RELIGIOUS
FEOPLE-
[Copyrighted for the Enquirer-Sun.]
Newhaven, Scotland, Sept. 1, 1890.
Whenever we thi nk at all of fisher-folk,
we usually associate them in our fancy
with sea walls of sublimity or shore
reaches of barrenness and desolation. Sea
gulls hovering near; skeleton craft bleach
ing in wind and weather; tide-swept coves,
wind-whipped and grewsome, vary the
picture. But the harvesters of the deep
ever recall pictures of sea rage, wraith and
wreck.
The most noted fisher-folk in the world
these of Newhaven, are differently envi
roned. Their sea-haunts, upon and at the
ocean mouth of the transcendently beau
tiful Firth of Forth, are of surpassing
loveliness. Their home-haunts are not in
a dreary coast hamlet pounded and howled
at unceasingly by the sea, but in their own
quaint, quiet city of 6,000 souls. They
are not periodically subjects of starvation
and charity; but live in ample comfort
both in their sturdy fishing-crafts and
their
CLEAN, PICTURESQUE HABITATIONS.
They are neither sodden nor ignorant, but
are bright, earnest and healthy-minded.
Only the romancer Jean find a more hope
less element of pathos among them than
among ordinary folk. It would be diffi
cult to paint them as extraordinarily pic
turesque, if we except their women folk
who are all that, save when in their ‘kirk
brats” or finery, of a Sunday, when they
will then compare favorably' with any
smart American worshipers. They are
never drunkards nor any other manner of
swine. They do not favor customers with
Billingsgate, of the foul order at any time,
and the other sort of forgivable objurga
tions and expletives are only ready for ap
plication to those not possessing their own
excellent manners. They speak too good
English to have pride in a Scottish dialect.
! Their superstitions chiefly hint at penalties
for dishonesty. In truth, there is not
enough about them, save that which is up
right, sturdy and fine, to attract those who
travel for the thrill of being shocked; for
they are one and all sturdily honest, hum
bly God-fearing, tenderly kind.
Because they have ever been represented
in the magazines and reviews as an
ODD, ROUGH AND UNCANNY LOT,
and I have found them upright, sturdy
ami fine, it is a delight to let the world
know something about them and their en
vironment and as they really are. New
haven as a fishing village is very ancient
indeed. In the early part of the fifteenth
•century it was designated “Oar Lady’s
port of.Grace,” from a mite of a chapel
dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St.
James; and a bit of the ruin of this edi-
[fke is still to be seen in the old deserted
burial ground in the centre of the place.
But it owes its later importance to a speeu-
f lative whim on the part of James IV. who
1 in 1506, erected here a rope-walk, docks
l and a ship-building yard. In the latter
was constructed that then most marvelous
(leviathan of the sea, James’ war-ship,
rGreat Michael, the largest ship the world
had then known, whose sides, amidships
T ere padded with solid oak ten feet thick.”
THE GREAT MICHAEL
•a3 210 feet long and 5G feet wide; was
rmed with many heavy guns, three great
assiis, with no less than 300 moyennes,
aleons, quarter falcons, slings, pes-
ilent serpentines, and double dags
•itli haebuts, culverines, cross-
ows and handbows; was manned
nth 300 mariners, 120 cannoniers, and
.000 soldiers; anil was in other respects
‘0 wonderful that to this day the monster
is recalled whenever a new fishing craft
enters the harbor; for such is always the
‘bonniest Newhaven boat syne Michael’s
time.” The only other noted incident
ever occurring at Newhaven was when, in
September, 1550, sixty stately galleys and
■other ships anchored here, and the queen
mother, with the most brilliant company
ever assembled in Scotland, sailed out of
the Forth on her way to visit her daughter
Mary in France. But the city of Edin
burgh, whose great port was, and is, the
■city of Leith, fearing the growing pres
tige of the “new haven,” purchased the
entire place from James IV., in 1510, at a
good round sum; and for the last 3S0 years
while the little port has remained simply
[an extension of old Edinburgh and Leith,
up tlie South side of the Forth, Newhaven
has had but a slumberous growth. Today
’t comprises 5,000 souls. Over 4,500 of
{these are fishermen, fish-wives and fishers’
children. It is
A LITTLE WORLD BY ILSELF.
'.is population are a people by themselves,
i spite of the tram-cars that come as far
they dare from the great city and halt
iy the village side; in spite of the railway
hat brings and takes vast crowds^ of cu-
ious visitors; in spite of the tremendous
teamship and vessel life and^ its splendid
lanorama before tlieir very eyes; in spite
f the churches, missions and national
chools, wedged between their curious
abitations; and in spite of the unceasing
riction of their daily contact with the
line activities of a splendid city, housing
iie brightest and most cultivated people
'u Great Britain; they suffer no diminu
tion. no impingement, no change. As to
dress, customs, dialect, mannerisms, mode
iife, modern progress stops aghast at
the outskirts of Newhaven, walks around
and passes on, as if with a sigh of re
lief at having escaped a bootless struggle.
But no one who knows the Newhaven
fisher-folk at all will sot them down as
[lacking in unusual intelligence. It would
s difficult to find anywhere in our own
‘ountry an isolated town of 5,000 people
possessing so many self-sustaining, alert,
Cheery, active-minded souls. There are
not simply a few predominating intellects

uddenly whisked to anywhere else, would
thrive.
THEIR ACTIVITY IS REMARKABLE;
their perception quick and true; their
amiability winsome; their physical power
and industry are amazing, and their tran
quillity and content are something good to
and know. They are the only eharac-
eristic community comprising a distinct
'lass, all of whom toil bravely in the same
Manner of drudgery, I ever came upon in
il my wanderings who were willing that
he better favored should enjoy their good
brtune, and were themselves cheerily glad
? remain as. and what, they are.
A good dead deal of this was made clear
in the few trips I took with the Newhaven
fishermen to sea. The to$al fleet com
prises five 30-ton boats, costing £350
each; twenty-seven 20-ton boats, costing
£250 each, and one hundred and twenty
5-ton boats, costing £85 each; giving a
total capital of nearly $100,000 invested in
boats alone. The entire “gear,” consisting
of perhaps
ONE HUNDRED MILES OF NETS,
tons of lines and hooks for long-line fish
ing, with creels, crans,cressets and' various
unnamable pharaphernalia, involves an
original and repair outlay of nearly an
equal sum; so that the New Haven folk
alone, who comprise but a small propor
tion of the whole fishermen along the
shores of the Frith of Forth and the near
fishing ports, have no mean investment
out of which, with the addition of their
labors, to deserve an excellent livelihood.
Cod, haddock and herring are chiefly
sought. The fishing-grounds for the cod
are In the middle of the North sea, about
100 miles east of the Isle of May, which
stands at the mouth of the Frith
of Forth. The fleet are usually
away from port from Monday
until Saturday, during a few weeks of the
early spring. There are no “hand-liners’,
as with our Gloucester fishermen who fre
quently go out from their schooners, an
chored on the Banks, in yawls and dories
to take cod with single lines. The New
haven men, on arriving at the grounds,
“AFOAT AND ANCHOR”
that is, they sail lazily at the rate of about
four or five miles an hour, reefing their
“lug” sails according to the wind, away
from the “anchored” end of a cod line
which is always from five to seven miles
in length. The hooks are 21 feet apart,;
and three buoys only, one at each end,
with a centre buoy, each surmounted by
a red or black flag, are used for the entire
line-length. The work is usually begun
after midnight at such a time
as will enable the crew to “get
her all in tlidf water” before sun-
Joek” lights, flambuoyants, and or
dinary flash-lights are used; and the effect
with a large fleet, on a moonless night, is
as though innumerable sea volcanoes were
sending forth, in regular pulsation, tiny
flashes of flame. Four men are required
to “shoot” the line. Three bait the hook
with herring, and one “pays out” the line.
In “haddockin’ ” seven men comprise
a boat’s crew, and each man owns a line
to winch is attached 84 score of hooks, 42
inches apart, 5,880 feet long. The joined
seven lines constitute a fleet of lines, the
total length of whieh is more than seven
and one half miles! As the haddock
boats make three trips a week to sea, and
haddock hooks are baited with mussels,
whieh are gathered along the shores of the
Firth,
“mussel-gathering,”
done by the women and children, and
“haddock-baiting,” add largely to the
earnings of the tishermeus’ wives. By an
unchangeable law the wives and daugh
ters of each “haddockin’ crew” bait that
crew’s lines, receiving three shillings, six-1
pence per line, or twenty-four shillings
sixpence, per “fleet;” and if the crew
have in it unmarried men, these cannot
favor tiieir sweethearts with the labor, but
must give it to the women folk of their
married companions. The haddock “fleet”
of lines is “shot” just as the day is break
ing. As they snap and fly like whip-cords
into the sea, many a hook is embedded in
a fisherman’s hand. But this does not
“put them sair about,” as they cheerily
answer you, while drawing the savage
barbs from their flesh with their teeth.
The haddock lines are not permitted to
remain under water but half an hour, and
are scarelyever “drawn” without an excel
lent yield of fish.
All the herring taken by Newhaven fish
ermen are sold for fresh consumption in
Edinburgh and its suburbs, the greater
portion hawked as “Caller (fresh) her
ring!” by the Newhaven fish-wives them
selves. Quest for these delicious fish is
made in ever-varying portions of the Forth
from opposite Newhaven itself to the
open sea beyond
THE FAMOUS BASS ROCK,
the “season” continuing from July IS, to
the 7th of September. If the boats are
going a long distance, they depart at day
break; if but fifty or sixty miles, they
leave at noon. In either case they make
a beautiful picture against the dark emer
ald background of the bold Fifeshire hills
to the north. Each boat carries a “fleet”
of from 50 to 60 nets, each net about 60
yards long and 18 yards in width, and the
crew of each boat as it passes out to sea
are engaged in “fishing down,” which
means stowing away the nets in the hold
ready for paying out on arrival at the
fishing grounds. Here they drift with the
tide until the instant the sun “ta’ks th’
hill,” that is, the moment it begins to dis
appear behind the horizon. The joined
nets, which are provided with buoys every
40 yards, are then “shot” in a half hour’s
time; white lights are hoisted that the lit
tle craft which continues to drift with
the tide, may not be run down by passing
channel steamers; supper is had; and all,
save one look-out, turn to their bunks for
sleep until two o’clock in the morning.
All of the Newhaven folk live well. It
is their boast that not even the gentry ex
cel them. The women bring from the city
a good many dainties to give variety to
the coarser food—they are noted for cook
ing fish and always secure the
CHOICEST FOR THEIR OWN HOMES,
and the fishermen, either on short or long
cruises, provide a bountiful locker, as I
know from personal experience and enjoy
ment. At every breakfast we were furn
ished boiled or mashed potatoes, ham and
eggs of fish, salt or fresh, white bread
from the Edinburgh bakeries, and oceans
of tea and condensed milk. At dinner
appeared that universal comfort of the
Scotch lowly kail-brose or cabbage broth,
sreat platters of “duff” and syrup, moun
tains of boiled beef and potatoes and
more floods of tea. At supper there were
afresh or salt herring, oat-cakes, cheese
and bread and syrup. At all times there
was a bountiful supply of good butter, and
if one became hungry between meals
there was always a toothsome snack of
cold fish or cold boiled beef with mam
moth hunks of bread and! a hearty wel
come to boot.
Newhaven people are best seen during
the daily market hours between seven and
nine in the morning. The harbor, sur-
rouuded by sea wall, with sides’ 500 feet
long, forever covered with drying nets and
gear, has only one little entrance; but into
this have come perhaps
HALF A HUNDRED BOAT LOADS OF FISH.
As many more boats are floating idly
alongside. Perhaps no more than one
hundred fishermen will be seen about the
boats and piers; and these are resting con
tentedly from their night’s labor at sea.
The remainder have gone home and
“turned in” for a good sleep. The women
relieve them of all responsibility the mo
ment the boats are docked. They even
go so far as to carry the purse and dole
out what Jock or Sandy shall spend while
ashore. The fish have been got out of
the boats and are ranged in boxes which
hold about 100 pounds each, in the open
space of curious old Main street, fronting
the harbor. In this will be 6een more
than a thousand people, 600 or 700 of
whom are fish-wives, the remainder com
prising hucksters, children, curious tour
ists, rifraff from Edinburgh, and a half
dozen blatant auctioneers. These get six
pence per pound sterling value on sales.
All fish are sold outright to the highest
bidder for cash; and if the wives of an en
tire boat’s- crew should be sellers of fish
they must purchase their fish in the open
market precisely the same as any other
huckster who may come to buy. The best
prices are secured at the earliest hour; get
ting to the guid wives of Edinburgh before
breakfast time, being counted an advan
tage. There are innumerable odd char
acters buying here besides the fish-wives
—weazened old men with hand-baskets,
women aud men with donkeys and carts
smaller than themselves, saucy lads and
saucier lasses,
BAREHEADED, BARELEGGED AND BRAVE
in their strength and ways. But for 300
years, just as it will be with those who
come after them, as long as Newhaven,
Edinburgh and Firth of Forth are here,
the fish-wives have been those who, un
disturbed and unruffled by time and
change, trundle daily away from New
haven pier with nine-tenths of ail the fish
brought to it from the sea.
Their creels contain from 70 to 80
pounds of fish. These carried on their
backs, are held in place by broad, leather
straps about tne forehead. Uncountable
are tlie skirts they wear. These fall just
below the knees, and two or three of the
outer ones are gathered back over the
haunches in voluminous puffs. Stout
woolen stockings, stout buckled shoes,
and a stout pea-jacket complete the rai
ment: save that the married wemen wear
a handkerchief or “mutch” cap upon their
heads; while the
MAIDEN FISHWIVES GO BAREHEADED.
While at their labors, every article of
their dress, save cap and shoes, is of dark
blue wooien goods. If shopping in Edin
burgh, or when visiting among themselves
their attire is of wide, gorgeous-striped
linen, petticoat upon petticoat and their
frills, furbelows and jewelry, would sicken
even the “show-Gipsies” of Seville with
envv.Those who remain athome,and others
who during the afternoon have returned,
gather in most picturesque groups about
the stairheads of quaint old Main street
which runs parallel with, and next to, the
sea-front of the village. Here they gossip
over local affairs, cobble the nets, bait the
lines, and do all odd things that women do
in these strange fishing communities—
save quarrel. They do not quarrel in
Newhaven. Perhaps it is because they
are a truly religious folk. For so it is,
that when I entered their Free Kirk on Sun
day I saw more than two thousand of
these people
WORSHIPPING WITH GREAT DEVOUTNESS.
Stranger than that, the dark petticoats
and striked petticoats were gone. Not
one garment marking their waterside vo
cation could be seen. Sober grays and
rich blacks, costly as the attire at famous
old St. Giles had taken their place. And
as I stole out again before the doxoiogy
was ended, tlie myriads of creels hanging
at their deserted stair-heads, miles of nets
drying in the sun upon the piers, and the
swaying spars above a hundred boats rock
ing in the harbor, were all that could at
least give Sabbath testimony that here
was the largest single fishing community,
and always the most self-sustaining and
characteristic one. that the world has ever
known. Edgar L. Wakeman.
