NEW VESSELS ARRIVE

 

    There has for some time been a suspension in the addition of new trawlers to the port.  Indeed for some months past matters have been moving in the opposite direction and several vessels have been sold, chiefly to foreign owners, ...... However, this week has seen the arrival of two new vessels of a modern type.  On Thursday the "Gwenllian", built by the Smiths Dock Trust, at South Bank, for Mr. M. W. Howell, landed her maiden catch, which grossed £125 with markets down.  She was brought round by Captain G. Nicholls and her skipper will be Captain H. Hewer.  On Monday afternoon the "Marloes" from the same firm, to the order of Messrs. Hancock and Harries, arrived.  Her skipper is Captain Tom Salter.  Unfortunately, on her first voyage she met with a mishap to the engines and had to put up with a small trip.
