    That's a bonny photo Ally,but I would say ye're 10 years agley wi' the date...try mid 60s.Ocean Venture on the left,is that Ackie and Peem's wee Aurora the inmost boat of the two on the right? Thought the outside one was the Golden View with another name and number,probably not....need GB to answer that one.
    That is 3 of the Moray Sea School's cutters un the fore ground it was on the go 1952 to 1977
    ronnie is that the ocean venture that became sincerity 2 that you had now in maryport?

    Puzzler, varnished boat astern of Incentive has a brailer pole swung out, is he or was he landing sprats onto the chappie or fishmeal lorry on quayside?
    Boat alongside seems to be washing down, his neighbour boat?
    it definitely has a look of sprats about it.
    no trawl boards, no deckfulls of seine net rope,
    the black boat alongside the varnished one seems to have his baskets hanging over his stern to wash.?
    Incentive and his neebor, both have a sprat derrick forward of the wheelhouse too.
    sprat bonanza time
    never to be seen again.
    Think the varnished  one landing is the Triumph or Flourish and the one next to him could be the Maple Leaf

    sorry about the quotes laptop playing up i think the boat next to the triumph or flourish looks like the moray lass john?
    Scoop that varnished boat Triumph INS46 more than likely you are right the other could be the Moray Lass INS104??
