Migrant Fishermen from the South China Sea
Introduction
“Aberdeen fishermen actually came from different directions. In the past, fishermen moved around under the wind. They parked their boats at places as the wind drove them to there. No matter what, they fished along the coast. Some of them moved to Aberdeen and settled down here if they found it a fine place.” (Chan Kwok Wah, Male, b.1963, Shrimp Trawling)
