Fishing celebrated at annual blessing Jessie Johnston Once again the annual Blessing of the Fleet event drew a large crowd as locals remembered those lost at sea and celebrated the importance of the fishing industry to Nelson. The event began last Friday night with a fireworks display while Saturday saw people gather at Sunderland Marine Pier for the blessing ceremony. The day included musical performances by the Nelson Male Choir, Motueka Brass Band, the Salvation Army Band and Nelson Christian Academy, while the blessing was conducted by Bishop Richard Elena. Graeme Bennett, father of Paul Bennett who died at sea when the FV Jubliee sank last year, threw the wreath into the water, followed by a minute’s silence, which was broken by eight bell tolls. “Nelson is Australasia’s biggest fishing port by far,” says Mike Smith, chair person for the Blessing of the Fleet committee. “There’s more fish landed over the wharf than anywhere else in Australia or New Zealand, it’s a vital part of the economy, a lot of people are not aware of that. An event like this just shows what this industry is worth to the region.” Five people were lost at sea last year, including two from Nelson, “that’s the true price of fish unfortunately, people die catching them,” says Mike. “[We’re here today] because Granddad was involved in the sea, so it’s just been in our family, it's part of our history,” say Tina and Chris Fortune. “We’ve got our own vessel as well, so it’s important that we remember those and play our part in the whole celebration of the sea.” After the ceremony, the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter entertained the crowds by performing a winch rescue, before the coastguard demonstrated fire fighting at sea.
