Bought this in the Barra's about 10 years ago hope I am not infringing any copyright.

    seen that pic before, in fact i do believe my brother in law has one from the series framed in his hoose, one or two i think featured in a recent book, one of my uncles was aboard one of the boats that took part in this event, not sure which boat, might have been the maid of morven?
    Thanks for that Dunard its good to know that pulling together sometimes works.
    do not see a brailer on these boats they  must have still been using the basket to empty the net,i have heard john simpson of dunure was the first to use the brailer,he had seen it worked in canada or nova scotia,maybe someone will have an idea of the dates or if it was used elsewhere before john simpson used it

    if that was the case bout   infringing   copyright most would be in jail   keys    put to the botton on the sea, think   if the photographs are good   should   let the public see them have had lots   put on sites  and in books that have taken  myself           but don,t bother me   in the least as say show you   photographs   keep  in step with time to   many old   and lovely old herringringer   and lots more old   boats   picture   lost and  put by   you would think its was   gold their were hiding.
