Allen Jewitt
From time to time every boatyard needs extra labour and we are lucky enough to have some character-full experience to draw on.
Allen Jewitt - salmon fisherman (retired), eel catcher and alligator hunter - has always lived and worked on the Tamar River and, should you care to ask him, he will tell you everything there is to know about its ways.
Allen is available to give lively and informed talks on aspects of the river for a donation to the RNIB or Chicks.
If you wish to contact Allen to arrange for him to give a talk to your organisation please do so through Weir Quay Boatyard, for contact details click here.
Johnnie Hall was brought up on the river about the Merganza - now sawn in half upstream of the Yard. He helped Brian Tankard and others build the Yard in the 1970s and 80s.
