Description

The trawler Trevessa ll leaving Newlyn Harbour. Newlyn's economy is largely dependent on its harbour and the associated fishing industry; Newlyn harbour is the largest fishing port in England. The port was a major catcher of pilchard until the 1960s. Today, a few vessels have resumed pilchard fishing and use a modern version of the ring net. The largest vessels are beam trawlers owned by W. S. Stevenson and Sons, one of Cornwall's largest fish producers. Image has been HDR'd
