Newlyn Harbour Christmas Lights

A Christmas scene from a few years back when W Stevenson & Sons, who for many years, made one of their trawlers the focal point of the harbour lights display. Here, the Caroline graces the slip with a flotilla of swans at her stern.
Newlyn Harbour lights will be switched on at 7pm this Friday the 11th December with none other than Patch Harvey, cox'n of the Penlee Lifeboat, doing the honours by pulling the switch. Mousehole Harbour's lights will brighten their village the following evening at 7.30pm on the 12th December - both ports will buzz with life on the night with festive cheer in abundance - more so this year as the forecast is for a dry, but cold evening!

You may want to check the date for Mousehole Lights switch on. I thought I heard Mr Munsen say it was the day following Newlyn on Radio Cornwall this morning. I may have misheard though.
