    J.S.B. Joe,s auld boat. I remember her at the I O M, herring fishing towing wi doors, like most of the Irishmen did, but he seemed to be the only Scots boat to tow himself.. I think she was also built with fishroom freezing in part of his hold . I think the bell on the fore side o the foremast widna last long  nooadays in that exposed location, not because o the weather, but in danger from, lets just say,  opportunists..Thankfully I know that its in a safe and secure place. 8:). ;)
    Benloyal, Thocht he'd have stowed awa' the boxes piled high on port side-deck, afore onythin' else!!!
