Trawler battles waves for prawn haul

Despite coastguard warnings of “huge waves whipped up by high seas” this fishing trawler was determined not to be prevented from going in search of its haul.

The John B and its six-man crew left Howth yesterday evening to begin a 10-day stint fishing for prawns.

Boat owner William Price told the Irish Examiner: “It’s a case of life and limb and just go for it.”
