The website says, "...navigate your way around Grimsby's Fishing Heritage Centre and discover what life was like for trawlermen and their families in the 1950s. Experience the sights, sound and smells of the times that follow visitors through the interactive displays. Join the fishermen in the Freeman's Arms, come and experience the moving deck, visit the dockside shop and queue up for some fish and chips!..." This is a mock-up of a fishing boat's boiler room. There is camera shake, but given that the camera was hand-held and the exposure was 4secs at f3.5 there's little wonder.
