RECORDS’ CONTEXT

Name of creators: Wick Harbour Trust

Administrative history: Wick Harbour is strategically situated on the northeast tip of mainland Scotland at 58° 26.5' N, and 003° 04' W, and for the last 150 years has provided a safe haven for fishing, commercial, and leisure vessels.

Diversification is now well under way from traditional fishing activities, with the new Marina facility opening in 2009, and development of wave, tidal, offshore wind, and oil exploration in the Pentland and Moray Firths.

The Harbour consists of three basins: - the Inner and Outer Harbours are the main fishing and leisure berths, and the River Harbour is the commercial area.

The earliest harbour works began in 1803 under The British Fisheries Society, to exploit the huge seasonal herring fishing. Trade at Wick peaked around 1900 when some 1120 vessels were based here. Thomas Telford, engineering genius, Thomas Stevenson, father of Robert Louis, who lived in Harbour Terrace, and local man James Bremner, whose distinctive "Round House" overlooks the Inner Basin, and whose memorial stands above the Old Lifeboat shed, were all

eminent civil engineers who built the harbour, largely as you see it today.

From 1879 the port was owned and operated by Wick Harbour Trust, a publicly constituted body whose members were elected from local fishing, business and council interests. As of 1st July 2005, management of the port is now under the new Wick Harbour Authority.

There has been a decline in the traditional fishing but commercial trade is thriving, with regular deliveries of fuel oil, agricultural lime, road salt, coal, oil related cargo and wind turbines. Exports are of local high quality barley for malting, and timber.
