Description

Black Friday: The Eyemouth Fishing Disaster of 1881 is a gripping true story of survival and high adventure. On one fateful day, a coastal community lost 189 men in a single afternoon, leaving an enduring impact on the region.

This account of the disaster draws on the stories of fishermen at sea, their families waiting anxiously for news, and the historical context that shaped this pivotal event. Written by Peter Aitchison, who is directly descended from those who lived through it, this book offers a unique insight into the lives of the people involved.

Originally published as Children of the Sea, Black Friday sheds new light on a largely forgotten part of history, revealing the complexities and challenges faced by those living in Eyemouth during the 1880s.
