    ;) .I have just purchased a boat exactly the same as this but in a lot better condition.I was wanting to know anything about this boat i.e where the picture was taken who built her and when and any other history . I was told my boat came from the Ravensglass area and was possibly built by a barrow shipwright .
    Many thanks. Lady coaster

    Banshee  RN.16    1916 - 26   owner Henry Blidge 64 Lock Street.  The Lancashire Nobby by Nick Miller  might be of some use to you. also Fishing Around Morecambe Bay by Mike Smylie

    The Runcorn Banshee was registered at 4.53 tons, records show her broken up in 1926.  This boat Ptarmigan is only 2.17 tons so very unlikely to be the same boat.
