Like so many, a port which is no longer sees commerical movements - with the exception of the odd workboat or barge!
Very sad - I remember spending many times out on the end of the breakwater (after the long walk along the path known locally as 'Dog $h%t alley'!) on the tide to see the day's movements!

Kent/Krispen - Nice photos, the first one I count 9 ships in port!
Cheers Gareth

I think the one dated in the 30's is not correct as it clearly looks like a wartime built Empire F 'Chant' in the background. regards

Hi Gareth...
You`re right....It`s very nice pictures the Fowey-Pilot`s have put on their site.... I love to see this kind of pictures... Especially from all the places I`ve been my self while sailing in Bres-Line... If I didn`t already live in Frederikshavn, I would surely live somewhere in UK in one of the smaller villages/towns with a small harbour either by the seaside or next to one of the beautifull rivers you have "over-there"...
Gareth, not to mention anything about your eyes or the strength of your eye-sight, but if you have some glasses, perhaps you should try to put them on your nose and then try to count the ships in Par Harbour once again... Then I hope you also will be able to count to ten ships like the number I think, that I can see in the picture....
Sorry Gareth, hope you know me well enough to know, that I don`t mean anything bad or "ill-doing" by these words... I`m just teasing you now I got the chance to do so... I feel I know you well enough to know that you can take it Gareth...
My best wishes to you and the people you hold dearest...
Regards
Kent

Hi Krispen...
I understand your sad thoughts when you go down memory lane about Par Harbour... I feel the same way...
I also remember all the spectators that came down the harbour to see the ships coming into or leaving the harbour around high tide....
I didn`t know then, that you called it "Dog Shit Alley" to walk out to the pier head, but I can imagine why it had that name....smiler...
Regards

Hi awateah2...
I`m not able to argue with you about your allegation on the age of the picture, but I trust that you know what you are talking about in this matter, otherwise you wouldn`t try to correct the mistake made by the pilot in Fowey.... Perhaps you would try to tell them so they get a chance to "repair" the falior on their site...?

Well worth the walk though, especially when something decent was moving!! - Towards the end of Par's commercial operation the outer breakwater was fenced off preventing us to access and get them shots!

Hi Kent
Yes you're right I missed the one over on the far bottom left !
10 it is , cleaned the glasses great photo . I have one somewhere of The Hythe Colchester with a long row of ships, and a lot of Danes with their derricks swung outwards, hopefully i will find it and post it.Must have been quiet on the Deep Sea trade so they decided to load the lousy paying grain..........
Were you at BresLine when Peter Witt joined in the chartering dept ? Old friend of ours Peter
Cheers Gareth
Roedspaetten 04-15-2011 02:15 AM
Peter Witt....
Hi Gareth
As far as an older sailor can remember these days, then I`m not aware on mr. Peter Witt.... I can`t "put a face" on him, so I`m nearly sure, that he must have startet in Bres-Line after "my time" there was up.... I can see, that he is still present in the company`s office today... I was in Bresline in the first half of the seventies
I`ll look forward to see your photos Gareth, I will treasure them like the purest gold.
Have a very nice day and weekend Gareth and don`t do anything, that I wouln`t do or enjoy.
Best wishes
Kent
