    Must be efter 19 76 cos the BRITANNIA wisna riggit for the trawl till aboot October of that year, efter being at the prawn creels at Gairloch/Mallaig area.  Before that she was the bum boat or towing off boat for the BDELLIUM FR 185 at the purse net, having been bought fae LOSSIE in 19 73 to replace the PLANET which was lost at the north side of the mouth of ULLAPOOL Loch. Before that she seine netted fae LOSSIE since being built in 19 52. ;)
    Early 80's i'd say.
    the green boat , iris , aft o them is a braw boat,, a see its first paint was in 76 in the 70s gallery ,,  ;)
    Big boat in foreground could be the Sarepta?
    FR25 inside the Iris is the Hawthorn. Blue boat with shelter, possibly Silver Gem BF27.
