At the turn of the 20th century, Cullercoats folk depended upon herring fishing. It was not uncommon to land 12-14,000 herring at one time, caught just offshore. This livelihood diminished with the advent of the steam trawler, particularly those of the Scottish fleets which would follow the shoals down the east coast, destroying the Cullercoats fishing grounds and a way of life.
