Rememberance Sunday at Newlyn

The rowing gig Portheras heads in through the gaps after a testing training session in heavy swell conditions.....
"keep the home fires burning", a bonus for trawlers working in some areas is the amount of sea-coal still to be had from fishing handy to wrecks....
in the foreground, the beamer Filadelphia on the slip with, what was once a common site, is a coaster (from JST Services in Ayr) alongside the stone quay - the captain had asked to come into the port as they were rolling through 25° in the heavy swell sat out in the Bay - she's en route from Plymouth to Waterford......
a tarpaulin covering the bagged net gear strains in the stormy conditions.....
forever carved in stone, the names of local men lost during both wars last century....
wreaths laid in memory to those local men who gave their lives in war surround the base of the memorial outside the Mission in Newlyn.
