Fleetwood shrimper at Newhaven
An unnamed ex-Fleetwood shrimper, Shoreham-regd as SM100 is shown moored afloat at the foot of a jetty in front of a clapboard building with a curved sheet steel roof. Seen from the starboard side at a distance of perhaps 50m, the boat's curved stem and eliptical 'coaster' or 'tug' stern are given prominence. A foresail is flying above a long bowsprit which has been withdrawn aft, and the mainsail is laced to the boom below the lowered gaff. The boat has a doghouse, as if converted to use as a cruising yacht. The angle of view in negative P76228 is slightly different from that of negative P76227, but the detail of the main object is identical. (H.O. Hill notebook also quotes image No. 440 for the same subject in its entry for image S553)
