Sad day for the Trewarveneth PZ196
Recently moved to the North Quay for repairs, the Trewarveneth PZ196 took water and failed to float. 
Onlooking, ex-skipper Roger Nowell once held the port record with the Trewarveneth.
Harbour master Andrew Munson uses the Chickadee to tow the oil-boom around the sunken hull to contain a small amount of fuel oil that has leaked from the vessel.
The Trewarveneth spent the last few years of her working career as a gillnetter.
As one of the biggest spring tides for 50 years approaches all of the netter fleet are in port.
