Can we save UK’s Oldest Fishing Vessel, celebrate the unique Fal Oyster and help recruit youth into a traditional sailing fleet. from Fal Oyster on Vimeo.
I’m not sure about the claim that Shadow is the oldest fishing boat in Britain (see Boadicea, Emma and another local star Vivid), but that doesn’t change the story in a way that matters a jot in the grand scheme of things – those Fal folks have a good idea and I hope they succeed.
I believe Shadow built in 1884 is the oldest fishing vessel ‘still’ fishing ! She has been working all her life on the last regulated sail and oar fishery… But thanks for the support! FalOyster.co.uk
