    Ronnie has said it all, Ally. They're a delight and a feast for us old sentimentals.

    Plenty more where they came from  :)
    Third boat off the El-Alemien
    the 2 inside boats look very similar---sister ships??
    even the wheelhouses are identical and liferaft and stove chimneys in same place..
    dont see seine winches aboard either unless theyre drifters?
    mebey getting fitted out  new built? inside one doesnt appear to have handrail at side of wheelhouse?
    Beautifull
    The Two Boys and the Good Hope were sisterships,built for drifting and the seine-net but was mostly seinenet fishin,they both had their engines forrad,the Good Hope ended her days in Fleetwood and i think the Two Boys went to Ireland. O0
    Two Boys went to Ireland indeed via Thurso, The boat tied to the buoy in the middle of the basin is the Earna WK354 skippered by the late Harald Thurup, After Haralds death she was sold to to Neils Thomsen of Whitehaven late 1949
