This Trawler is indeed Watson Backwards and was owned by Albert Watson (CQD) a former Chief Petty Officer who served on Minesweepers durning WWII. He died around 1978-79 and i inherited the profits from the sale of the Nostaw and his other two boats. If you would like to know more read,'Being in all respects Ready for Sea, by Herbert Gordon Male. Could any one actually give any positive news on this vessal. All in all a huge character and an infamous name of North Shields fish quay.
