The Pearlers

- Made by The National Film Board 1949. Directed by Lee Robinson.
Beautifully filmed in black and white, this classic short film looks at pearling in the late 1940s. It goes on board the boats that work off the coast of Broome, Western Australia, from March to December each year. Crewed mainly by Aboriginal, Malay and Chinese men, they work six days a week from sun up to sun down-replenished occasionally by supply boats that also take away their hauls of pearl shell. The film captures the atmosphere, the detail and the danger involved in the search for shell as the divers in huge metal helmets and layers of clothing under their suits dive two at a time, each with one person tending their airhose and another their lifeline.
My Dad was No1 Diver on B2 and had a walkabout article written about him the same year as this was filmed. Amazing to see what my Dad did.
Ik was doing some research on the Broome pearling fishing because of the fourth book of the Seven Sisters series of books by Lucinda Riley, and stumbled on this film. Very special
I found this because i found out about the Pidgin language that was spoken among the luggers
An excellent short film of a culturally rich and diverse aspect of Australia in the 1940s! so Aussies weren't all blond and blue eyed then....
A fascinating account of a way of life. Many thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it
