Inshore fishing boat, King's Lynn

A number of fishing boats can be seen moored at Kings Lynn in Norfolk. These inshore boats mainly fish in the large, shallow bay between Lincolnshire and East Anglia called The Wash. Their principal catch is, I read, cockles, most of which are processed in the town and then sold to Spain. Though the boats are usually tied fast to the quayside sometimes one is more loosely fastened, like "Seagull" above, making for a more interesting photograph.
