    This boat is called the Golden Dawn, built in the 50's by the Stewarts of Grimsay for the Morrison familly, also of Grimsay. The boat is seen here at the entrance to Baymore after lifting two lobster keep boxes, the island Ronay is seen in the backround of photo. At time of photo boat was owned by John Nicholson, also of Grimsay, North uist, who fished the Monach isles.
