    Built 1950
    Forbes did the new (old) wheelhouse in 1967
    She has a terrific hull shape
    Had only a 3L3 in her but could still tramp along

    She was sold to a guy called Hodgkinson fro the Warrington area in 1967
    Ar that time she was owned by William McDonald Mackay, James Wiseman andagent David Slater & Co ... all of the Broch of the Broch
    As far as I recollect she was built for the Wiseman family

    Swivel, the hull and machinery were in brilliant condition when I bought her
    She still looks well kept, if a bit "overbuilt" with that massive superstructure
