More about this scene

A fisherman and two boys scull their boats around the pier of the inner harbour. This appears to be a windless day, which would no longer affect most of the larger fishing boats - they have been motorised. A large yacht has come into the outer harbour past the pierhead lighthouse (right).

I have researched my family tree and I am the son of a Henry Thomas Johns, who was part of a long lineage of fathers of the same name descending from Mevagissey. I think they owned 3 boats, Pet, Three Johns and Lizzy. I would like to know more about them and if there are any of our family still living there.
