Boats in their noosts at Firth, Delting, around 1905. They are: boatie hoose with old sixareen as roof, a whilly, haddock boat Brothers Pride 778 LK (Giltik), fourareen (Upper Skolla), fourareen (Newhouse), fourareen (Tiptigarts). Note the whilly has a notch in the stern to enable it to be sculled. The Brothers Pride was one of the boats to survive the Delting Disaster of 14th December, 1900, in which four boats and 22 men were lost. This boat was saved by the crew beaching her at Bunnidale, Lunnasting. Besides wood, long stones are used as shoards, traditional preferred because the more the boat moved the tighter the shoards gripped. (Photo: J. Manson)
