Irene gets her bottom scrubbed.


Must have been a hard night...



every now and then the slip in Newlyn is graced by the presence of a classic sailing ship, this year it is the turn of the classic sailing vessel Irene...



she was launched in Bridgewater in 1907...



and is currently having her bottom scrubbed and other below the waterline jobs done before resuming her charter work for Sea Sanctuary Saling...



Symons are back in the harbour again, this time they are digging out the ground to make way for the easy-access path to the harbour...



more landscaping taking shape in the entrance area to the new Resource Centre..



out with the old, in with the new, fresh food for the gribbles...



keeping an eye on things as the Ajax prepares to load her nets aboard...



that's the second new rubbing strip being cemented in place alongside the fish market...



shark attack on the bass, a single bite from a big tope...



worth their weight in gold these days...



getting the fish sorted, market staff hard at it grading fish for tomorrow's auction...



working to levels of accuracy some could only dream of, Sharpy carefully setting the scribe for a new aluminium door under construction, JT Fabrications no job to big r small!
