Great video! Lots of memories there for me as I was born in Lowestoft in 1945 and as I grew up there were still lots of those old wooden fishing boats working out of the port. Over the years they were gradually replaced by the larger steel vessels then the industry slowly died with the scarcity of herring and the fishing restrictions in Icelandic waters. Lots of my school mates went to sea but it wasn’t for me, it was well paid but a very hard, and dangerous way to make a living.

Keep them coming telly can't beat these boat's made to last.
Sadly they were not made to last, They were built to do a job, and were worked hard, Hence so many went for firewood, Great boats I luved them
More fishermen should comment on these videos great to see these beautiful boat's again.

Fine wooden ships, Did I see the Avalon that ended here days down off Brixham in about 1989, she was green and white when she was here.
I went on the Semper at Brixham.
