Andrew "Govie" Cargill interview pt7 of 7: fishing industry
Channel: Thomas Greenan

Andrew Cargill, better known as "Govie" was 94 years old when I interviewed him about his life. He was born in Gourdon, a small fishing village on the North East of Scotland, and spent most of his life there. He was in the merchant navy, and travelled the world during his time in the Royal Navy in World War II. He spent most of the rest of his working life as the skipper of a line fishing boat operating out of Gourdon.

Govie speaks in a dialect common in the North East of Scotland. I hope at some point to provide subtitles in more standard English to help those who would otherwise struggle to understand him. There may be some high-pitched whining in the videos caused by Govie's hearing aids, but I have done my best to edit it so that it is not noticable.

This video covers Govie's time in the Fishing industry.
