New St Ives boat makes good news for Newlyn

With only a couple of days to go work continues on the fisherman's memorial....
more hot air in Newlyn, this time some repairs to the bow after a shock collision off Mousehole Island this morning - and the submerged object hit? - remains a mystery - and no, it wasn't a floating rock as some wit suggested!

the Jacoba's new scallop handling gear is nealy complete....at 3pm, the first big whitefish trawler for the port since the Dumnonia in 1988 and the first Steven's family boast since the newly built Rose of Sharon in 1968...
and steams up the harbour to the fish market....a view of her fish handling gear starboard side...

a spacious starboard side mess will keep her crew happy at mealtimes....meanwhile, down the end of the new quay the Intuition is landing her shellfish to a waiting lorry...
through the eye of the water hose....
SS118 Crystal Sea takes 7 tons of best Newlyn Ice Company frozen water, flaked of course!
