    Built for John Buchan (Lachin' John) in 1958 as Animation PD279. Fine big boat in her day. Sold to FR, became Girl Vivien. Low wheelhouse common then. Whalebacks were few and far between then. I suppose it was mainly after the driftnet stopped that whalebacks became the norm. The high wheelhouse was needed for seeing ahead. Then they raised the wheelhouse even more to accommodate mess area / galley underneath.
    Looks like Manna on her offside.
