Reid Thomas had a nick name ‘Baa or Bar’ and another crew
member was also known as Bar. There were two Payne’s and
two Buttons and a Tonkin in the crew. The ditty is:- Two bars
but no drink, Two Paynes but no ache, Two buttons but no
thread, One Chinaman a Tonkin (Source Billy Stevenson). Alan
Thomas sailed it out of Hayle diving for crayfish. The Thomas
family had the boat from 1945-1969. 1969-1974 it was owned
by a consortium (Jimmy Nicholls, MacJohns, Alan Thomas and
'Geordie') that intended to use her as a tender, in a project to
locate and raise the Titanic. Listed in a paper headed Penzance
1974 supplied by Charles Downing (NA 1662). 1974-1975
owned by Mervyn Routledge and moored in Newlyn where the
inshore lifeboat is now. She almost sank at her moorings
several times. Mervyn Routledge had her towed from Newlyn to
Hayle to be renovated. 1975-1976 Doug Woolley purchased her
with a view to refurbishing her and sailing to Newfoundland to
help raise the Titanic. 1976 John Vasey bought her but
abandoned the idea of renovating as too costly. Then it was
sold to Colin Campbell who wanted to restore it; at the time the
boat was lying at the Lelant Saltings and it proved to be too far
gone to be restored. (Information from Peter Hilditch). The
Cynthia Yvonne was laid up and left to deteriorate at Lelant
Salting on the Hayle Estuary, eventually rotting away and
becoming a hulk. In July 2000, her remaining timbers were
removed from the Salting, pulled up onto Dynamite Quay,
Lelant and the public were invited to take pieces as souvenirs.

which they had to cut free. They brought in 160 stone of fish. It
was never established just what had happened but Billy
Stevenson thinks that they had a good catch and pulled one
net too many and this proved too much for the boat to handle.
The Dashing Spray was an undecked boat therefore as water
was coming in it would not be able to run out. She would have
gone straight down, and with the restrictions in force on the use
of lights it would not have been noticed. Boat in picture 1238

Efficient FR 242 Efficient. Previously named Auchmore, she was built as
a revolutionary motor drifter to take the place of steam. She
spent the first 6 years in Fraserburgh, before being purchased
by the Stevenson family. In the summer of 1937, she went long
lining, wintertime catching herring and mackerel. In 1939, she
was converted to go trawling and was the only big motor trawler
working from Newlyn. Remained in Newlyn for the first 18
months of the war and carried on fishing though it suffered
attacks and bombing on several occasions. Efficient answered
the call to Dunkirk. On her return she resumed fishing and
during one such trip, she was dive bombed, which shook her
engine off her engine bed. She was repaired, but machine
gunned by a German bomber on another fishing trip. In 1941,
she was yet again machine gunned and shelled by a German E
boat that at the time was attacking a British convoy. After that,
all-night fishing was stopped. The War Department
requisitioned her. Attached to Leith & Grimsby for four and a
half years transporting escapees from Norway back to Leith
and Grimsby. She did not land on Norwegian territory but picked
escapees up offshore. When returned to the Stevenson
company it was found that the crankshaft was broken and it was
not until the War Department had a new Petter engine fitted that
she returned to Newlyn. After the war, her name was changed
to Atlantis and this name was carved on her stern, but William
Stevenson changed his mind and she became PZ 513

carries the ring-act mentioned recently by Harry Hopkins in his

the old seine-net, but now controllable from the parent-boat
Where fish are thick, its results appear to be good, but for
general fishing the normal method of the pilchard-drivers with
the suspended curtain-net appears to fill the seasonal bill well
enough'. List: 4133 JFT; 1330 Madron. Reference: Williams

Rosebud PZ 87 Rosebud. Long liner, frame on plank construction. Length

at bow, 6ft 6in at stern. Wheelhouse 6ft 6in high on platform, 3
portholes each side. Engines 2 Thorneycroft petrol paraffin.
One of the larger vessels of its type, was built at Newlyn in 1919
by Joseph Peake & Son. Raymond Peake, in discussion on
2.7.2013 said that 'PZ 87 Rosebud that his father built in Newlyn
in 1919, should never be referred to as a lugger. She was built
as a mackerel drifter with low sides to facilitate pulling in the
nets over the sides. When the mackerel fishing declined she
was used as a long-liner, but still carried nets for when the
opportunity arose. March 1933: Claim for damages from S.S.
Monkstone, not upheld.(NA 6069 155,163-4.) Atomic 2-stroke
diesel engines were fitted in 1935 and Raymond painted a
dollar sign on the funnel for good luck.' The owners 1919-1945
were William 'Swell' Richards (skipper) and his brother Cecil
Hugh Bourne Richards ( engineer). William James Richards
senior was nicknamed 'Pity' as everything was a pity (RP).
Other crew were brother-in-law Jimmy Matthews, Mr Simons,
his son Jim Simons and Willie John ‘Pat me’ Harvey. Rosebud
sailed to Westminster in October 1937 carrying a petition to the
Minister of Health aimed at stopping the Newlyn Slum
Clearances. The deputation of fishermen landed at Westminster
Pier on October 22 1937. From 1939-1945 Rosebud was
commandeered by the Royal Navy for wartime service, being
attached to Belfast. In 1945, the Rosebud was sold to Sidney
Thomas from Church Street and it was renamed Cynthia
Yvonne after two of his daughters in 1947. Later the number
was changed to PZ 152 (see on list). Photo of model boat PZ

Clair landed a fine catch of 1,000 stone at Newlyn on Tuesday;
a remarkable catch for the length of time.' Cornishman

Clair was a 90 foot ex Admiralty MFV, the first of this class
acquired by Stevensons, and then the largest vessel in their
fleet. Along with the usual ship to shore radio, radio direction
finding [DRF], echo-sounder, and basic magnetic compass, she
was fitted with a new decca navigator, using the three clock
system - Red, Green, and Purple. A side-trawler, that is working
otter trawl gear from either side of the vessel as required, the
St. Clair, sported two pairs of 'square-headed' gallows fore and
aft, as opposed to the normal bent arch of 6"x 6" 'H' beam. She
also had a large wheelhouse, with skipper's day-berth behind,
and a crews' mess-room on deck abaft the galley, all in one
deckhouse. In all the other trawlers you ate below in the aft

from fishing, the Newlyn craft New Bedford carried away the
tabernacle of her mast. When the accident was seen from the
shore, a few fishermen quickly proceeded with the Sunbeam to
the assistance of the damaged vessel, but, meanwhile the crew
of the New Bedford had succeeded in fixing the mast to sail in,
and there was no necessity for the prompt and kindly help'
(Cornishman 01/11/1900). 'At Yarmouth on Wednesday all
records in the history of herring fishing were broken by the
delivery of 320,000 herrings caught by the single boat
Sunbeam… The stupendous catch was made in deep water
north of Yarmouth. When other boats in the vicinity heard of the
Sunbeam's luck they ran down to her, expecting part of her nets
to be left for them when the Sunbeam had filled her hull. But her
skipper shrewdly kept on loading into his vessel until another
boat, the Ocean Spray, owned by the same man, came up.
When the Sunbeam was full to the deck he handed over the
nets to the Ocean Spray and his owner thereby secured the
en¬tire catch which, on being sold, made £520. Both in quantity
and amount this catch far ex¬ceeds the previous record of any
sort' (Cornishman, 1912). 1916 broken up. List: 3663 Butts.

Bangor (Northern Ireland). The boat was fitted out for naval
service 'painted grey and a little gun piut on deck' at Falmouth
prior to its duties but the men received no training. The crew
were asked who the eldest was and William Henry Tonkin
became the Chief Petty Officer, the next eldest William Simon
became Petty Officer and Engineer, and the other four were
Able Seamen. The United Boys PZ18 was ‘sold out of the
Family’ at a date just after the War and fished successfully out
of the port of Newlyn for very many years. Eventually bought in

at RAF St Mawgan, living at Flushing Falmouth. Mr Kuiper
converted her to ketch rig for private use at Terry Herd’s boat
yard at Mylor Creek. He crewed her with local men and she
fished out of Falmouth and St Mawes. She was finally lost in
Bantry Bay Southern Ireland. On one occasion, at Bangor, the
men were apprehended for smuggling cigarettes and tobacco,
which they had from the Americans. At the Navy hearing, the

Trevorrows, a well-known family of boat builders at
Porthgwidden. [1] On Friday 1st December 1893 the Unity PZ
286 a 2nd class lugger of 40 foot and 12½ tons owned by
Edward Trembath from Mousehole was taking herring from a
seine at Mullion, 7 last of fish, (150 stone to a last, so she would
be carrying just under 6 tons of fish) it was a strong wind and
she could only carry a 50 yard sail forward. As she was shipping
a lot of water they had to ease her off a lot of seas. This caused
such leeway that Mousehole could not be fetched on a tack
from the eastern land. Finding the boat foundering the crew of
four took to the punt they were towing when the Unity was 200
yards back of the island. The crew made shore at Spaniards
Point. The loss of the Unity was made worse because 19
herring nets were aboard. The Unity was insured for £70 with
the Mounts Bay Mutual Insurance Society. [2] On 2 December,
1893, the Evening Tidings reported, The fishing boat Unity, a
55' craft, owned and captained by Mr. William Cattran of
Mousehole. Went down this morning, early, off Lamorna. The
Unity left Newlyn pier yesterday afternoon to go to Mullion for
herrings and having been loaded she started again for Newlyn.
On the way up the wind freshened considerably, and when off
Lamoma the Unity, which was very heavily laden, sank. The
