Looking back along the conveyor on the scalloper, Jacoba where the dredges are emptied at hauling.....
a significant safety feature, a close-up of the hydraulically operated hook bar that holds the 18m beam with its multi bars and 18 dredges and prevents them swinging across the deck while the contents of the dredges are tipped onto the conveyor during hauling....
it's practice night for the Cape Cornwall gig rowers as the Brisons is launched from the old Canner's Slip (so-called as Shippams once had a small canning plant in the building opposite where Trelawney Fish are now)....
after a few more alterations the engine has been fitted aboard the Inspiration.....
and at the end of the day its time to cover the shining new paint work......
Star of the North, one of the few boats in the area working the pollack boards, now using aluminium and not bamboo poles to avoid damage.

Great photos as ever!
The bottom one is of Blogg's (Paul Jane) boat "Star of the North" not the "St. Ruan". He is towing boards for Pollack out to the west, when the weather is fit. There is a lot of weight when you get a few fish on, hence the aluminium poles.
Thank you for the correction Richard! I have just heard from the British Library who want to include the site in their web archive - - so its good to get the facts right!!
