    B113 Aigh Vie (outside boat). The day is the opening of Portavogie harbour after rebuild. I think Aigh Vie was the first through the entrance.
    Aigh Via built 1916 by Neakle and Watterson, Peel.  She was awarded to the crew of the Wanderer PL11 who rescued the crew of the Lusitannia in 1915 by the ships owners. She was first registered RY40. She later moved to Balbriggan as D79. She is still around.
    thanks for ur information mike its amazing history behind some o they boats.
