    None of the photos uploaded on March 6, 2009, are Taggable -- is this on purpose? I was having such fun adding Tags to your photos!
  • Jessica Johnston said:
    We fixed the problem. Now all the photographs can be tagged. Sorry about that!

    Surely one of the greatest fishwives in history
  • Gwen Page said:
    I love this. It would be great to see more photos of women from this time - see what their lives were like.
  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    "The fishwives of Newhaven were famous for both their beauty and confidence. They carried the fish their men had caught in baskets on their backs up to Edinburgh to sell it. Whenever storms at sea made the fishing especially dangerous and the price of fish rose, they were heard saying 'It's no fish ye're buying, it's men's lives'. The phrase became internationally known after Sir Walter Scott used it in his novel, The Antiquary." -- National Galleries of Scotland caption
