Visual Journalist | From the Archives of Bob

Went back to visit my Grandparents, they managed to dig out some photographs that I was hoping to find. Some really nice snapshots of moments in my Granda's life which were amazing to see. Just posting them here because I love them, and I think they could act as a great visual resource.

Granda holding a Blue Skate, which he said weighed around 10 stone. He sounded really proud about being able to carry such a weight!

A record-breaking haul of cod, covering most of the boat. This was probably taken at the height of the fishing industry around 30 or so years back.

Members of the crew chipping ice off the boat. Around 14 Danish ships were lost that year, capsizing entirely due to becoming top-heavy from the ice that kept on forming.

The sea mine! From WW2, hauled up in the mid-eighties. When it was taken further out to sea to be detonated, a photographer captured the explosion in successive images..

Explosive charge was deployed near St Mary's Lighthouse, just off the town of Whitley Bay

Bob at the Caledonian Canal up in Scotland

Don't know if you can tell but I'm really proud of this cool ocean man..
