    As far as I know she came to Dunbar from Newhaven,but no 100% sure,but I think we can safely say now that she was built in the Broch.As for the sinking and the bomb?..never heard that story before,interesting though.65 thoosand tons o' steel spread oot ower a mile and a half and they feckin' missed it and hit a 48X15ft fishing boat? Vorsprung durch technik indeed.Must have been a Fokker that ;)

    I think the Old man said she had a 44 in her originally and that looks like a wee enough fan on her there.Need Bow Tow for the Newhaven info.

    Before my time YR spoke to Robert Dunlop all he could remember was that she was built for Willy Rutherford(Newhaven)
    The pictures a bit grainy but is that no gable ends in the background Port Seton maybe.
    Jim Todds the only other auld yin that might ken and he's just went away for 2 weeks to Lanzarote
    Robert fae Dunbar would be the man to ask
