    a brilliant picture can remember her at sh she was built for the sheader family pip and jonna sheader i think this is only what i can remember been told a few years ago her last skipper was harry sheader known as baby because he was the youngest member of the family sadly he passed away only a couple of month ago a great fisherman with pots and lines she was a top ship and they also had some poor days can allways remember when ever the life boat was launched the hilda was one of the boats that would be at sea indeed at babys funeral he wanted the collection money to be left to the scarborough lifeboat to pay for all the times they came to escort the hilda back home......
