Freda Peterson, aged 20, (left) and Peggy Mckay, 17, watch their work piling up on the deck of the fishing boat Betty Leslie. The girls are herring packers at Lerwick, Shetland Isles. They have packed millions of fish, but always wanted to go out with the fleet and see them caught. Skipper George Leslie took them out on Monday evening. Late that night they saw the men shoot their nets. After a few hoursI sleep the girls were on deck again to watch the glittering, slithering herrings hauled from the sea.
