Here's your chance to buy a piece of Cornish fishing history.....
celebrating her 90th birthday this year, the lugger Ocean Pride, in her day one of the oldest fishing boats in the Newlyn fleet .....
here she is steaming off in a fresh southerly breeze for a day's handling, one of her gurdies is clearly visible on the port side.....
just passing Mousehole with the Mes Filles/Castle Wraith/Heather Armorel? inside, note the straight stem of the Ocean Pride in comparison.......
off the trees and showing her keel......
part of the 100+ strong fleet of boats that worked the mackerel shoals in the Bay in the 1970s - this shot was taken from the deck of the Girl Freda, skipper Bob Cairns from Milford Haven.
