Publication Account (1977)
'...All along the waterfront at Stromness are small private wharfs and piers, often with storehouses...'
J R Hume 1977
Field Visit (28 July 2010)
This fishing equipment store is a good example of a storage building on a slipway in Stromness. It is built of corrugated metal. It was still in use on the date of visit, mainly for lobster fishing. This building was photographed due to it being characteristic of the kinds of buildings and current usage of Stromess slipways facing onto Stromness Harbour.
