A port bow view of the static display of the Yarmouth trawler 'Heroine' (1858), Royal Naval Exhibition, Chelsea
A port bow view of the static display of the 40-ton ketch-rigged Yarmouth trawler 'Heroine' (1858), Royal Naval Exhibition, Chelsea. The trawler has both jibs set as well as the main and mizzen sails. Her name on a large flag flies from the mizzen mast and the flag of the Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen is on the main mast. The Mission had bought the trawler for display after it had been damaged during the winter. Next to the trawler is a 37ft 12-oared double-banked RNLI self-righting lifeboat on its transporting carriage. Off the trawler's bow is the 1680 cast-iron cresset (or light basket) from St. Agnes lighthouse, Isles of Scilly. This was by then in the gardens on Tresco (as it remains today).
