L to R,
Felicity LH ?, Lothian Star LH 168 both of Fisherrow, Crimson Arrow CN ?, Frigate Bird CN 99, Silver Grey CN 235, Golden Dawn CN 199, Nobles CN 236
Willie Wilson died just a couple of months ago, Grieve and Sarge always said willie was a cracking fisherman.think they worked a foursome with Mungo Munro and Willie,DEWY ROSE and GIRL MARGARET,SUMMER ROSE,STORMDRIFT
Aye aye, Spider said he'd never seen cannier man than Willie, just needed the one go at them and would fill the pair every time, times gone by johnny
CN235 Silver Grey....CN236 Nobles, 1932 Nobles of Fraserburgh. Can't name CN199, certainly not Golden Hind CN199,1950. A strong lens on the copy I was given shows 2 names for the boat outside the Silver Grey, the first looks like Golden so she could be Golden Dawn CN119, Golden Fleece CN170....
Brian, there is family MacDonald in CN who have called recent boats Crimson Arrow and Golden Dawn so CN199 could and probably is Golden Dawn, Golden Hind CN199 was also owned by a Duncan MacDonald jt
the old fella reckons a CN crimson arrow fished in kincasslagh when he was a wee fella-wether its this one or an earlier one-god knows!
Frank, there is still a Crimson Arrow in CN today owned by Jimmy MacDonald whose dad got the Dawn Carol (pic on site) built as Crimson Arrow also the N reg Crimson Arrow was owned by them, so will be same family your dad remembers
must ask him later can he mind of any of the rest of the cn boats names that fished here. did any of the tarbert men fish over here?
Will ask about Frank, know my grandfather fished IOM, Minch etc, there was Bobby Hawthorn aboard our boat when we were ringing telling me he fished sharks down the Donegal coast after the war
never knew any body fished sharks here!-must ask about see does anybody mind although they mightnt have landed in any of the local harbours so it might have went un noticed. was a whaling station on aranmore pre WW1 but they weren`t long tidying up the local stock of whales.
cn 99 was frigate bird cn97 falcon the hoodie herring hogg ovarrr
