PZ 134 Ocean Pride is the only Newlyn built counter-stern lugger left in the country. Following many years of Service, she was taken to Rye Harbour, Sussex, where she lies today out of the water and deteriorating.
A number of 'Likeminded' individuals have come together to try and get her brought back to Newlyn and over time restore her to her former glory. This is going to be a very long process, with the first hurdle being to get her home. Once we have secured finding for the lifts and transport, we hope to put the Ocean Pride in a purpose built restoration area at Sandy Cove, Newlyn.
Our project will be a community project, not just us, we hope that a number of local groups and individuals will support it and benefit from the knowledge learned and the satisfaction of helping protect what is a very unique artefact in Newlyn's history.
