    Brilliant pic Ally.  Interesting that the superstructure looks like it just came off a steam drifter.  No seen that before.
    Cheers

    Think she became Welfare, still LK. They took off that caisson and fitted her with one of these horrid "caravan" style galleys, that were all the craze in the late 60s, early 70s. Fished seine net. A friend of mine, from Shetland, saw her lying in a Maltese harbour about 15-20 yrs ago, rigged for catching sword fish. Power block aft was still on her.
    Check the mizzen, stowed "swallow tail".
