Walter Green, Boat Builder
 |
| Wick, Scotland |
Walter Green (1786-1860)
was the son of James Green (b. 1760) and Helen Geddes (1760-1842). He married
Margaret Sutherland on July 1, 1815, and they became the parents of eight
children.
Walter was a boat
builder at Wick, which is located on the North Sea at the tip of the northeast
coast of Scotland. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Wick was a
center for the herring industry. In fact, the industry thrived to such a degree
at Wick that the town was sometimes referred to as "the largest herring
port in Europe."[1]
