Ring netting for Cornish Sardines

'Trelawney Fish' boxes wait to go back aboard the George Johannes....
The smallest vessel in Stevenson's flrrt, the Cathryn makes landing at the fish market with young Edwin manning the pallet truck.
Just off the gaps, ring-netters Prue Esther and the Pride of Cornwall have shot their nets for sardine. You can see the headline floats strecthing away from the boats. The Pride of Cornwall missed the fish on this occasion and had to shoot again. The Resolute, seen later in the video clip below, gets a shot in even closer to the gaps off Newlyn.
