    Built Macduff '69 for Alexander family of Gamrie. Sk Frank Alexander snr, latterly his namesake. Fine folk. Originally painted white, and powered by 230hp Gardner. Seine net to begin with, but soon changed to trawl and upgraded to bigger Kelvin engine. Among the first to have a gutting machine aboard!!
