More about this scene
The day's catch is auctioned. Though fish were abundant in Victorian times, Mounts Bay fishermen were possessive about their fish stocks. The Newlyn Riots of 1896 were infamous: Four Royal Naval destroyers and a brigade of troops had to restore order in violent fights between Newlyn men and East Anglian trawlers.
