For all those who fished from Newlyn back in the 70s and 80s the name Fed Steele will bring back many memories - many of which would be unrepeatable in the proximity of those with tender ears and of sensitive disposition! Fred, ex-skipper of both privately owned and Stevenson's vessels has written and published his own memoirs in what could be the first of several books - this early chapter in his life ends around 1972 just as he is about to embark on a new career doing a 'proper job' fishing from Newlyn.
Copies of the book can be obtained from Barron's Newsagent in Newlyn or Books Plus on the Terrace in Penzance at £9.99 or for those who are not in the area, give Fred a call on 00351 919254648.
A review of the book as it appears in the Cornishman.
