Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: trawler

I am not sure what De Zwerver was doing with its bow against the quayside, but shortly after this it headed out to sea.

The caption, after a slight cropping, is all this photo has had added. Sometimes I know when not to tinker with an image!

I am not sure whether it's a trawler or not, but it was fun to watch it cruising around the marina, between the pleasure craft.

Now a vertical version - not a crop - I actually turned my camera over!

Same photo - a closer view

Please note - the tall mast above the bridge is a floodlight standard on the quayside, not part of the ship!

Two scallop trawlers from distant UK ports, moored at the commercial quay, rather than the fishing piers.

Even an long shot like this one can pick up the gulls waiting for the 'discards' as the trawler returns to port.

Now was this an emergency or an exercise? The weekends are a good time for the latter, especially for lifeboat volunteers and retained firemen, who wouldn't have to rush away from their jobs - assuming they don't work at weekends. 3.11.2011 - Thanks to the South Coast Leader (newspaper) we now know that William Mary snagged its nets on the bottom 21 miles out to sea. There was a fire in the engine room and one crew member had burns to his hands. The lifeboat was called out at 5.16am on Saturday. The fire was extinguished and the nets recovered. The lifeboat then towed the trawler back to port, arriving at about 11.30am.

The trawler Albion can be just seen passing the lighthouse.
