Sunny start to another week in busy Newlyn.

Heading for the gaps, Trevssa IV...


after crossing the 5˚32'28"W line...


the ship that belongs to one of the oldest businesses in the UK, Trinity House's THV Galatea...


not a bad start to the day...


with a market full of quality MSC hake from the Britannia IV...


spurdogs...


and big mackerel...


that's a lot of greater weaver fish for one landing...


Spring scallops...


and still the pollack come...


the eight-leggers have arrived again...


seiners like the Acionna land he very best...


quality trawl caught fish...


megrims, largely the preserve of the beam trawl fleet caught in any quantity...


looking out from the market...


scads are about...


at the western end of the market, there were also seine caught hake from the big Dutch seiner


Annalijdia, not the use of the shallow boxes just as the Spanish boats do to avoid the delicate fish being crushed by their own weight...


serious suckers...


good to see strong landings for the handliners continue...


now those are bollards...


yet another Spencer Carter winch, built to last and still going strong...


Spanish Eyes II, all set for the arrival of the MCA for her final inspection before being signed off to fish...


the prawners took a break over Easter...


basking in the sun...


the Boy Enzo has joined in the action...


time for the big fella to take fuel on the Monty of Ladram...


while the Enterprise is all set for Heltor's new HVO fuel...


time for the sardines boats to take a break...


as the St Georges heads for the market...


digging down deep to prepare for the foundations of the new Resource & Training Centre ..


- the land was reclaimed from the beach when the road was built to join Newlyn Town and Newlyn Village...



yet more seafront was lost when Keel Alley was filled in in the early 1980s...
