New to Bridlington Harbour.
A 'gansey' is a woollen jumper worn by the men of the fishing fleets from along the Yorkshire Coast.
Knitted by the womenfolk of the home ports, they included intricate designs and patterns which were unique to their particular community.
In the event of disaster at sea any washed up bodies could, therefore, be identified to the town from which they came.
