Jamestown fishermen seek support over destruction of canoes during downpour

Fishermen in Jamestown, whose canoes were destroyed by heavy rainfall, strong winds, and high tides on Tuesday, have abandoned their damaged vessels in search of financial assistance to either buy new ones or repair the old ones.

The downpour led to the destruction of several canoes near the sea defense wall built as part of the Jamestown Fishing Harbour project.

Upon arriving at the site, it was evident that most of the canoes had been relocated to the shore, but the fishermen whose vessels had suffered damage were absent.

He said, “The absence of fishermen whose canoes were ravaged by the tidal waves is intense.

The soaring prices with canoes fetching over 800 cedis only compound their plight, leaving them bereft of their primary means of sustenance.”
