    Weatherheads built a few like this for Fisherrow about 1930, wheelhouses were added soon after.

    From what I've read,some of the old timers preferred out in the open with the tiller rather than a wheel as they reckoned they got a better shaped circle when shooting the ring net,not to mention seeing all round as well.What truth there is in that I don't know.Sure I've seen a pic somewhere of the Crimson Arrow of Campbeltown without a wheelhouse,think she was about 1929?
