My grat granny was from Cadgwith...JANE family lived on the todden Lizard people are unique...articulate friendly clever and at times a bit crazy....the men as seamen are 2nd to none...nice clip

That cove is a hive of activity.

[@dngoodchild]

Excellant piece. Illustrating a function that has been done this way for hundreds of years . . .albeit with horses then and not a donkey engine.

[@equinoxe29]

awesome

[@Antipodean33]

Excellent clip, nice little fishing boats. Its a pity fishing didn't stay like this instead of these massive super trawlers pulling everything up and making fish etc scarce

[@suehamilton8531]

Just wondering if there were or still are small boat rides out of this cove. Was in cornwall in 1970 on a school journey and remember this fondly!!

[@Weepwoop88]

Yes there are ☺️

[@jessewrites3819]

Life before the metaverse. Real.

[@flamedrag18]

what would you say the length of that boat is? 25 feet?

[@WELLBRAN]

@WELLBRAN sorry great granny! you have cought the mood of the place well taken footage 1st class

[@Stmtrolleyguy]

Do they do this every day, or is this because a storm is coming? I'd imagine it must take a bit of work to put them back in the water, unless the tide comes up that high.

[@PhakedSound]

every morning they all help each other get the boats out, and same for getting them back in in the eve - tis some work

[@kristyhutchinson6614]

When did they start using the tractor instead of the winch?

[@pkrMergy]

tractor used to push the boats off ... winch still used to retrieve speak as an ex cove fisherman

[@kristyhutchinson6614]

Thanks for the reply to my question. I live in the US but am oddly obsessed with Cadgwith and very much hope to get there to see it in person someday.

[@pkrMergy]

i was there when it was man power not tractor to launch the boats , yes the 80`s ... 1980`s if want more on boat shown search nutty noah & see more

[@kristyhutchinson6614]

I have seen a few videos with Martin in them and have checked out his artwork as well. Seems like quite a character!

[@pkrMergy]

not sure if it will play in US ... search The Fisherman`s Apprentice as that is set in Cadgwith & i know most of them or been to sea with a large number
