Gotch also helped in the establishment of the Newlyn Industrial Classes, where young people from the area could learn various kinds of arts and crafts.

Newlyn and its surroundings offered these artists a number of advantages: fantastic light, cheap life and the availability of inexpensive models. The artists were fascinated by the fishermen, their ease of working at sea and the everyday life in the harbor and the surrounding villages. Accordingly, in many paintings the serene carefree life is praised. However, some images also show the dangers and tragedies that could happen in the villages by the sea: Women with a frightened look at the sea, as the fishing boats leave the port, or a crying girl who has received the news of a disaster.
