In better days - Ben My Chree steaming in to pick up the lazy deckie when pair trawling with the Keriolet in the 1980s.

The gill netter Ben My Chree was brought to Newlyn in 1978 from St Guenole in Brittany and fished by the Hicks family under skipper Steven and his brother Jonathon. She trawled for many years, including a short, but eventful, period when she went pair trawling with the Keriolet, another ex-French trawler.
