    The Ajax was sold to Arbroath late 50s had the cabin put aft new wheelhouse and fitted out for the seine net.fished strong at the seine net then shift
    ed to the white fish pair in the early 80s.Decomed in Dundee as the Fairwind AH 96 in the late 90s.
    Those were the days  sadly missed and gone,
