Title

Unmeshing pilchards in Newlyn Harbour.

Description

This is a frequent scene - fishermen, pilchards and nets draped over two oars for ease of handling. Two older men may have come down to help (...just a thought) other luggers in the distance. Just visible appears to be the lighthouse on the end of a pier, far right, possibly South Pier, Newlyn.
