Title

Large fishing vessel landing a catch of pilchards (possibly mackerel) at North Pier, Newlyn.

Description

The vessel looks like a visiting East Coast drifter (e.g. from Lowestoft, etc.). Some of the catch is still enmeshed in the hold and will take a while to unmesh. Onlookers are on the North Pier. The horse cart and wicker baskets help to date this scene to 1920-1925.
