Built in 1926 at Porthleven and fished by the Lakeman Family from Mevagissey, the Asthore PZ182 was a highly successful fishing boat in its day........
eighty five years later and bearing the same fishing name and number as the original, today's Asthore is the UK's largest purpose built ring netter. Although based in Newlyn, being too deep drafted for her 'home' port of Mevagissey, she will 'follow the fish' targeting mainly Cornish Sardines and Anchovy.
