Stornoway Port Authority intends
to produce a publication to mark the 140 year span
of Stornoway Pier and Harbour Commission between
1865 and 2004.
Throughout these years,
the harbour was at the hub of the town, with its
throngs of fishermen, herring girls, buyers, coopers,
tradesmen, dockers, merchants, naval and merchant
seamen, not to mention the ubiquitous "wee
coves" appearing somewhere in almost every photograph.
It has seen many memorable events through wars, peace,
Depression and emigration to Royal visits and carnival
days. It has been the gateway to and from the island
for generations of Lewis men and women and countless
visitors of all nationalities.
The Port Authority is anxious to complete a short
historical account of these years which would complement
the other valuable local histories recently produced
and so would welcome any memories, photographs, anecdotes,
memorabilia or other reports concerning the Commission
which anyone wishes to contribute.
All contributions will be formally acknowledged
and returned as requested.
Please feel free to contact
us.
