Daily pictorial news of comings and goings at Newlyn are now posted on an Internet blog compiled by Larry Hartwell - once a Newlyn fishermen who now lecturers at a local college.

.He records many of the port's colourful events and often presents them with an artistic edge; using a recently bought Nikon D200 digital camera - and a fish eye lens - he reveals both serious and humorous events.

He said: "I try to be there in my spare time each day, sometimes at dawn and sometimes at dusk. When you are a fisherman or have been one you never really get fishing out of your mind; I just love the industry."

Already posted are masses of pictures taken over 100 days, some including short video clips, with many taken at sea by the fishermen.

Larry said: "I try to follow the life and times of a Cornish fishing fleet and those who work from the largest fishing port in England. Newlyn regularly handles up to 80 species of trawl, line and net-caught fish, most being exported to Spain and France. It remains a very important part of the UK industry and there's always something going on, both night and day."
