    Not sure if she's brand new here, or just had a repaint, but definitely a whole fleet of new seine net ropes on foredeck, not out of the wrappers!
    After mast looks as if it hasn't been "blackened"!

    Looks like it's a rush to get her ready for sea. Pile o' boxes, lifebelt etc. ahin' the galley. Could be compass adjuster's tripod atop w/house. Nae sign o' a liferaft. Maybe losin' a bit o' patience wi' the yard!!!
    Was this the one that was built in PD .. ended up Talisman? Biggit early 60s

    Benloyal, to be fair, she wasna Talisman PD for very long. Got major refit and new caisson (nae sure if engine was replaced or not), but very soon after that, she sank.
