    Looking at the web, the boat became MV INVINCABLE, as Terry says, in the Orkneys as a Dive Boat - owners web site is @ http://www.scapa-flow.co.uk/ but no mention of her 'fishing history'  :cheers:

    Aye Will, this is what they say:

    Our luxury lounge bar really is quite something fully stocked with all the Orkney Ales and wide range of optics we even have the pumps and coolers, so if you want us to get a keg of Becks or anything just let us know and we'll see what we can do.

    Bit of a contradiction though - mention of Orkney Ales and Becks in the same sentence just doesn't make sense  :cheers:

    she is almost identical to the camelia terry, all thats missing is the frame from the back of the wheel house.
    alec mussel took the inga over to africa and she got eaten by the worms and sank soon after. trevor potter had some photos of her in africa including one of her wheelhouse and masts on the quay.

    where was the camelia built any ideas

    "i remember that boat fishing out of fraserburgh for a while.think it was a fraserburgh skipper at that time,cant remember the skips name"

    It was Calum MaCaulay that had her in the Broch, Bruce Davidson (Zanders Shipspainters) had a share in it.
