    Dan, See that hellish looking yacht, last one built in the yard, like a minature Southern Cross in the background.
    Was she not finished about the time of Kirsteen Anne, finished the yard at the time too if I mind right.

    Was that box no launched as a shell and taken somewhere else to be finished.The guy that drew the original plans was a house architect.Think work was stopped on her after we planked her and Kirsteen anne was priority, a left before KA was launched

    Can remember that there was some kind of dispute with owner, when she was finished she lay up off Ardrishaig for a while. yard was being run by admimistrator to finish KA,  Petie and Dadie were about that

    Guys,

    The Harvest Queen sitting in Charleston has a raised deck and I don't think she's Fairlie build as this one was.  The one in Charleston does have a 6 cyl Kelvin in it though.

    Big Alan I think you are right the one in Charleston was built by Jimmy Noble the Broch 1946/47 88kelvin for Wm Manson Mallaig,  MARY MANSON  .OB.155?, Willie Manson sold her to Rutters Seahouses 1959/60 they called her HARVEST QUEEN, when she was sold out of Seahouses she was kicked about a bit, when she left Mallaig she was looked after as a boat should like wise Seahouses like a yacht.
