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.
Four names appear on the bottom left hand corner, Joe Maddern, Dick Ro??ns,Ellie Hooper and Dennis Renfree........
of this small watercolour - on the transom is the boats name Four Boys and underneath that the letters DWB - CA in capital letters - the boat looks like an American shrimper a la Forest Gump. The picture is dated with what looks like 6/14/'72 which would suggest that the artist was American. Given that the painting has appeared in a shop in Penzance and three of the names are 'local' can anyone throw more light as to the provenance of the work?
