The original harbour dates back to 1774 when an Act of Parliament was passed allowing the construction of the new port and Mevagissey Harbour Trust was formed. The harbour in its current guise has been reached through a number of construction stages with the outer harbour and breakwaters completed in 1888.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the harbour supports a thriving fleet of around 60 fishing vessels, making it one of the most important harbours for fishing activity in Cornwall. It also supports 60 permanent moorings for pleasure vessels and 30 seasonal moorings. There is a slipway which is available for public use. Mevagissey harbour is Grade II listed and is one of only three Charity Trust Ports in the country. The harbour is a Trust Port. Trust ports are independent statutory bodies, each governed by their own, unique, statutes and controlled by a local independent board. There are no shareholders or owners and any surplus is ploughed back into each port for the benefit of its stakeholders. There are over 100 trust ports in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Mevagissey harbour is a national asset and it is being run for and on behalf of the nation.<br \/>The harbour is a vital part of Mevagissey in that it attracts tourism and provides employment (particularly for the fishing\/tourist industries). Two outer breakwaters (the North Pier and the Victoria Pier) provide Mevagissey and its fishing fleet protection from south-easterly storms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE VILLAGE<\/strong><br \/>Mevagissey is a village, fishing port and civil parish in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated approximately five miles south of St Austell and 17 miles to the East of the cathedral City of Truro.\u00a0 The parish population at the 2011 census was 2,015. Named after two Irish saints, St Meva and St Issey, the village dates back to at least 1313 and during the 1800s Mevagissey prospered on the back of the abundant source of pilchards. Pubs, cafes, galleries and shops cluster around the harbour and line the pretty streets. Mevagissey also has an activity centre with a gym, bowling green, football field, bar and meeting rooms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE FISHING INDUSTRY<\/strong><br \/>The fishing fleet originally benefitted from huge shoals of pilchards\/sardines and this activity brought in a range of associated trades such as boat repairers, sail makers\u00a0 and weavers. In its heyday, some 12 to 15 thousand tonnes of pilchards were landed each year. The industry subsequently declined as a result of over fishing but has since recovered following better management of fish stocks.<\/p>\n<p>The seafaring tradition is still strong in Mevagissey with many \u201cMaster Mariners\u201d having sailed around the world . Families also emigrated to far flung places taking with them Cornish names.<\/p>\n<p>Ship building also grew in Mevagissey with vessels being well respected for their quality and seaworthiness.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"the-charity\" class=\"kc-elm kc-css-948344 kc_tab ui-tabs-panel kc_ui-tabs-hide kc_clearfix \"><div class=\"kc_tab_content\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-699694 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>ABOUT THE CHARITY<\/strong><br \/>The harbour is run as a Charity having been granted charity status in 1988. It is registered as Mevagissey Piers and Harbour (reg no 800349) although its working name is Mevagissey Harbour Trustees (MHT). The harbour operates through a board of Trustees, who appoint a harbour master (and support staff) to undertake the day to day running of the harbour.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-656088 kc_text_block button\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mevagisseyharbour.co.uk\/donations\/\">MAKE A DONATION<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-179766 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE TRUST<\/strong><br \/>The key objectives of Mevagissey Harbour Trust are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maintain Mevagissey harbour and its facilities in a satisfactory state that is fit for purpose both now and into the future<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Operate the business of the harbour in an efficient way to generate a profit to reinvest in the harbour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure as far as practicable the safety of all persons\/vessels using \/visiting the harbour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In the year to 31 March 2023, the income of the charity was \u00a3300,000.
