    I have a copy of this photo dated late 1940's. Although not very clear the boat on the Nobles Again quarter is the Marion E.....I have no details re her.  Astern of the N A appears to be TT35 Mary Bain.  Behind the Marion( if that is her name) looks like the Frigate Bird CN99, deep bulwarks. She went to TT117 in 1947. Good to see you George last week in Tarbert.  Perhaps the real TT experts could comment on the ID's.
    aye brian boat astern of nobles looks very small for mary bain i was thinking more like the wee ranger .marion was from campbeltown .might be frigate bird but wheelhouse looks kinda big but im pretty sure thats codonas dodgems down the quay a bit.
    The third boat astern looks like the Hind or one of the bigger boats James
    hope the work going well Brian

    Marion 2 not E CN111.  Could the big boat astern be the Moira as beading line and hawse pipes correspond pretty well?  But could be the Golden Hind right enough. Yes George work on the bulwarks going well, will look better for a paint, when I am back up in TT in about 3/4 weeks.
