    Look forwards to meeting up.
    According to research by the late Duncan MacDougall,
    The boats nearest the camera off MacGougans quay possibly Britannia TT69, Mary TT71, Victory, Peggy TT334, Isa Johnson TT88, Isa MacGeachie, Molly TT60, Ailsa, Glengarry, Eudora and Octopus.
    Herring screw could be Marie, Watchful, Gail or Rob Roy.
    Pic taken late teens or early 20s I believe. Any details on any of these early skiffs would be appreciated....I do have the owners names.
    I dont know anything about the boats Bryan but i know a few folk got a good boot in the arse for stealing pears of the tree in the bttom right hand corner.
