this 1 came to portavogie in the sixties , carry fish to portpartick for long time owned then by the late john cully, the skipper was the late willie hugh coffey,
she them was sold to kilkeel where she had a long career in trawling from that port.
Fine looking boat. Built in Thomsons, Buckie in the '50s for Arthur Buchan PD. Sold to Ireland at the time of the "close brethren" fiasco. Some fine boats went to Ireland at this time. Fairly freshened up the Irish fleet then.
very true gee, remember lots of that type comming to nothern ports , and remember being told about the close nit brethren as far as no they down size to 40 footers as they hadent time to catch fish and get to church on the same day,they went to church and unloaded the sparts after they came back to the boats, that why they where lots of those big 60 and 70 feet boats tied up in peterhead for long time,things have changed on that front i think. any good herringringer about you love the old ringers. cheers.
