    This is a bit o a long shot ,cos i,m nae exactly sure, but there was at least two others very similar, maybee more, but the two I,m thinking aboot are NORONYA and LINDISEARNE. The NORONYA was in the Broch latterly, where I think she was decomissioned in 20 02,not sure aboot LINDISFARNE,... but the thing that puzzles me is that a seine netter fae Northern Ireland called NORONYA went on fire and sank in the Irish Sea aboot 4 years ago, and as I have said, I,m sure she had been scrapped.  I saw her in the Broch a few times, and she was certainly one of these boats. It would be interesting to find out  8:)
    Lindsfarne was a diffrent design to the Venturous Baggywrinkle.Noronya would have been similar same with Athena LK 237 but she was 10 feet smaller.The Noronya was sold to Ireland as you say.
    Baggywrinkle,  Charlie McBride(TV Trawlermen series) had two Noronya's,the first one came out of Orkney she was decomm. then the second one was the xVenturous renamed Noronya she caught fire and sunk in the Irish Sea,both Jones built boats.   8:)

    Once again boys, information greatly appreaciatrd, thank you.About 7or8 years ago, when I worked in the chandlers store, there was a lifebouy left ,amongst other things, and it had the NORONYA and FR registration on it. I gave it away to someone for garden ornament.. 8:)
