1933 photographs
These three photographs were taken within a short time of each other on Monday 26 June 1933. The Channel Island Shipping website confirms the details
On South Pier is Johann Ahrens which had arrived the previous Thursday with a cargo of timber. On the North Pier is Stephaniewhich arrived on Friday from Finland, again with timber. At No 1 Berth Albert Pier is the week old Brittany which was about to leave on an excursion to Sark. At No 3 Berth is Isle of Sark which was about to depart, and at No 4 was Isle of Jersey which had arrived on the Sunday, and would depart the next day. In the No 6 berth on the North Quay was St Julien. In this picture Isle of Sark is departing through the pierheads
This picture was taken 15 minutes later with Isle of Sark crossing St Aubin's Bay. In the English Harbour is the tug Duke of Normandy. The three images, published as postcards, are believed to be the work of Albert Smith's photographic business
1930s photographs
More pictures taken in the harbour in the 1930s. The quality of these images, taken from a set of negatives in 2020, leaves much to be desired, but they show interesting scenes of harbour life some 90 years ago
