Nobles Fraserburgh.  c.1933.



    Built for Archibald Cook ( Draper ) Campbeltown skippered by Willie ( toon ) Mc Donald
    I have her down as built by J&G Forbes of Sandhaven 1933 but could be wrong
    Cook replaced this boat with the Kathleen CN164 IN 1948 & Willie Mc Donald was skipper.
    Had his own boat in later years called the Southern Sun working at the prawns from Campbeltown.
    George-mac. is this the Enterprise that was in Pittenweem then Stornoway do you know George??
    Sorry Willie I don't know where she went

    Yes George had her as Forbes of Sandhaven.I believe she had some family connection to Day Watson a garage owner in CN.
    Could  easy  be  a  Forbes, I  was  tell't  it  wiz  a  Broch  yard,  n'  I  forgot  about  the  yard  next  door  to  Jimmy Nobles, it  was  a  low  corrugated  roof  on  it  that  Forbes  had. :cheers: :cheers:
