Title
View from halfway down the North Pier at Newlyn
Description
Opposite the steps if the 'Lookout' building called the Custom House. You can see the long sheds of the fish market in the distance. Behind the fish market is the lower part of Newlyn known as Street-an-Nowan.
We appear to be in the era of motor and sail as the vessel with the round stern is a motor vessel. There are still traditional sailing vessels in view ahead.
The wagon-wheeled tanker is filled with fuel oil for the early motor vessels. The man nearest the camera appears to be wearing clogs.
