Fishing from Rye in the 1960s

[@adrianbagnall4162]

The green side trawler towards the end of the clip RX213 was called 'Misty Lights' and had an identical sister ship, which I think was called 'Carol Ann'. Both vessel spent most of their working lives fishing from Rye, but Misty Lights spent her latter years at Newhaven where she was fitted with a stern gantry and used as a stern trawler. I worked her from Newhaven for a few years back in the early 80s. A lovely old boat with Gardner engine. Did about 1100 rpm flat out, so no wonder the engines lasted so long!
