Magic lantern slide
Acc.no: PEZPH : 2009.496
Identification
Item: Lugger fishermen being brought ashore at Newlyn in around 1900
Description: The punt, which is packed with ten men, is being rowed rather than sculled over the stern. It approaches the shingle beach near the back of the Old Quay. Several big luggers, or mackerel drivers, ride at the moorings in the harbour drying their mizzen lugs. The pier in the background is the seaward extension of the North Pier, named the Victoria Pier in 1894 but never known as such locally. The big luggers are moored bows seaward in the middle of the harbour and more are moored in trots alongside the North Pier. This photo was taken between 1894 and 1915 when the South or Lighthouse Pier was extended, reducing the run of ground seas in the harbour.
