Shalimar PD 337

Unusual photo of this boat. I think she was built with whaleback and the only time it was taken off was for a very short spell at the herring pair trawl late 60s. A few boats did this for a while, as it was very difficult manoeuvring alongside partner boat as the view from the low wheelhouse was restricted. As trawling grew more popular, raised wheelhouses became the order of the day. The gallows aft would indicate this was Shalimar's spell at trawling. Saw her in 70s at Isle of Man. Still a bonny boat then. She had a big Kelvin. Built Sandhaven with 152 Gardner.
Think she went originally to great-lines and seine net. Boat very similar to Duthies PD357.
Two-tone hulls were the fashion at this time!! (And two-tone cars)

Looks similar to the star of peace (pd) ?

Star of Peace came out of Irvins..that's Irvin's boatyard in the background, and Shalimar from Forbes. But boats were needing more wheelhouse space as technology offered more equipment...  eg: radar, fishlupe, plotter etc, so this was the fashion, similar to Star of Peace. Wooden windows still going on to wheelhouses (some older guys will remember the leather straps used to open & close the windows) .. water poured in on a poor day.

AYE AND THE WEDGE JAMMED IN TO KEEP IT SHUT,,
WATCH THE FINGERS TOO FOR IT SLIPPING OOT YER HAND WHEN OPENING AND DROPPING DOWN ON THE KNUCKLES,, BETWEEN THE WATER AND THE DRAUGHTS , NAE WONDER THE AULD YINS ARE BUXXXXXD NOW..

I think she fished from Kilkeel for a number of years

she sure did    for    many years    was fishing  at douglas bank herring  boom in the seventryish. very    fine boat was in  kilkeel for very long career.

These wheelhouses look strange! mair room for yer feet than for electronics at a usable height!?
