    Home Port : Seahouses
    Length:  35ft  10.67m

    Fortune was too big to fish out of Beadnell, so fished out of Seahouses.

        Bob Hall replaced Tom Fawcus in the early 70`s.
    Fortune was a replacement for the mule " RESPECT ".

    That is a brilliant idea. Benloyal.
    It would be a good read, they built boats for a long time.
