The potter Mizpah N455 tied up at Portaferry Pier
This boat which uses pots to catch lobsters and crabs was built at Weymouth in 1979. The heron posing on the cabin roof is real. Nowadays, potting is the only form of commercial fishing permitted within the lough. Potting occurs in water less than 10 m deep in the Narrows.
Mizpah is Hebrew for "Lord watch over me".
