Welcome to Through the Gaps, the UK fishing industry's most comprehensive information and image resource. Newlyn is England's largest fish market and where over 50 species are regularly landed from handline, trawl, net, ring net and pot vessels including #MSC Certified #Hake, #Cornish Sardine, handlined bass, pollack and mackerel. Art work, graphics and digital fishing industry images available from stock or on commission.
In a scene reminiscent of JMW Turner's "Fighting Temeraire", the Elizabeth Anne Webster is towed by the Chickadee and the harbour punt round to the slip for breaking. She was the port's first beamer, skippered for most of her career by three well known Newlyn men, firstly by David Hooper followed by Dell Puckey and Michael Corin. she's towed passed the newest wooden beamer, the Marie Claire up on the slip...... a tricky moment as the Chickadee takes her past the end of the Old Quay.... at this time, first time visitor from Bideford, Our Olivia Belle makes her way quietly to the market to land.... hard to know how many times the Chickadee has manouvered the EAW into a berth, this time its the last and final berth..... even Lifeboat coxwain, Neil Brockman has been drafted in to help!...... as ever, Mav and Clive bring things into perspective as the ominous arm of the crawler make a grab for the hull..... and the tow is let go...... back at the fish market, the Bideford boat, in her somewhat striking livery has begun to land..... as the boys on the Defiant get down to some serious mending after pulling the net on to the quay by the iceworks.

she's towed passed the newest wooden beamer, the Marie Claire up on the slip......
a tricky moment as the Chickadee takes her past the end of the Old Quay....
at this time, first time visitor from Bideford, Our Olivia Belle makes her way quietly to the market to land....
hard to know how many times the Chickadee has manouvered the EAW into a berth, this time its the last and final berth.....
even Lifeboat coxwain, Neil Brockman has been drafted in to help!......
as ever, Mav and Clive bring things into perspective as the ominous arm of the crawler make a grab for the hull.....
and the tow is let go......
back at the fish market, the Bideford boat, in her somewhat striking livery has begun to land.....
as the boys on the Defiant get down to some serious mending after pulling the net on to the quay by the iceworks.
