Biggest Newlyn crabber ever built arrives for owners Emma and Mark.

Bearing the same port regritsration letters as the old Dom Bosco, TO (Truro), as do all the Rowse fleet, owner Mark Rowse keeps an eye on the stern.......
as the finished hull is towed to her new home in Newlyn.......
skipper-to-be Mario will be looking forward to his new workhorse being completed as soon as possible.....
which shouldn't be too long as the main shellfish season is just round the corner. Crabs, being cold blooded creatures are much more active (and therefore likely to be caught) when the water is warmed by the summer sun.
