    Is it the Phaeton? It's the wrong number for her.
    At the time of this photograph - SN44 was the Reg for BROTHERS which went on to retire in 1990.

    PHAETON I is shown as SN59 on the EU Trawler Register from 1989 but she was launched in 1985.   So was she regsitered under a different number between launch and 1989?

    Regards

    Pretty sure Phaeton was SN 59 when she was new Steve. Several built of this design at Dunston so maybe its one of the others. I know someone went over all these boats sometime back but I can't remember if we ever established an original name & number for Malkerry - INS 147 then BM 147.
    when she was built there were two different numbers given to her, i had a photo somewhere of her with wa 46 painted on her, probably because the helga risager was wa 45 which bubbles owned too.
    i know when you are registering you could sometimes get a selection of available no's, he probably wasnt sure which one to have as she ended up sn 59 and she is still sn 59 although with a different name
