Silver at sea from SS Mantola, WW1 wreck sunk by U boat.



The Odyessey Explorer is currently working souith side of the Scillies.

The Odyessey Explorer, currently engaged in surveying south of the Scillies has made her second big bullion haul of silver this year. A ship torpedoed during World War I while carrying a shipment of silver has been discovered 2,500m beneath the surface of the North Atlantic. The SS Mantola sank in 1917, after being hit by German submarine U-81.

US firm Odyssey Marine Exploration located it off the south west coast of the Republic of Ireland, about 100 miles (160km) from where it found the SS Gairsoppa shipwreck last month.

For sale, 4.5 tonnes of Cornish Hake courtesy of the Ajax AH32..

Flying visit from the Samway's fish team chat to local fish auctioneer Robin Turner as a trip of beam trawl fish is sold.......

there's signs of a few herring off Cornish shores.......

the tally book shows just what the Ajax put ashore during the night after a long week at sea......

looking good, big, bright, bulging eyes on today's catch......

a sure sign of quality fish.........

the bulk of the fish were in the 2-3 kilo range.......

good to see so many scales.......

a 31 kilo monk, landed whole.......

close-up of the monk's mouth, showing the 'beard', designed to resemble seaweed as the fish's mouth rests on the bottom waiting for its unsuspecting prey to pass close by..............

the full extent of the trip from the Ajax.........

one of the week's jobs to do, get the mizzen sail repaired.

Ajax home.

Steel grey sky greets the fleet remaining in port this morning........

as the Ajax waits to land to a crowded fish market........

evidence of the wind strength over the past week can be seen from the mizzen sail which lies in shreds atop the after net pounds, the result of the aerial mast being brought down - the mizzen sail provides the boat with a steadying effect in strong winds and is used when hauling the gear (nets) to help keep the boat 'head to wind', essential if the skipper is going to keep damage to a minimum  as the boat travels slowly along the track the tier of nets were set......

lucky to secure space in the market fridge, the Padstow based Charisma gets her fish ashore......

under the watchful gaze of her skipper manning the landing gear........

then it's in through the market curtains.......

the heavy rain brought flooding to the boating pool at Wherry Town.
