Opis
Brseč port is located in the bay Peć, with the Brseč beach Klančac in its immediate vicinity. The people of Brseč were also intensively engaged in fishing, as evidenced by the stone fishing huts (barracks) for storing tools, nets, but also boats that were pulled ashore. Since the nets used to be cotton, they had to be dried before storage, because otherwise they would rot. So they were spread across the beach over wooden poles fixed in nearby rock crevices. Net dryers were also placed between Brseč beach and the harbor. Each dryer consisted of two trunks with forks at the top that were driven into the ground and placed vertically, and a sufficiently strong wooden stake laid in the fork horizontally. The number of dryers depended on the number or size of nets. The cotton nets were then stretched and passed over horizontally placed stakes. Fishermen who used to fish using cotton nets had to unload the nets from the boats every day after fishing and returning to the mainland and stretch them on dryers, and then remove them from the dryers during the day or in the evening before going fishing, and load and stow them on boats.
