Millport 1962

This will bring back a load of memories to the auld yins.......................  A wee bit o' heaven.

alongside puffer brittania and hercules green boat taeping fair morn black marie possibly new dawn inside wee dusty motor boat outside hercules

Here Jek, that wee motor boat was a legend! Always thought the boat outside the Keppel was the Watchful, but not 100%. Aye ye're guid! Trying to remember if we had the Silver Cloud in 62. Canny remember when Tudor Rose was sold, can you?

that wee motor boat caught a few labsters aboot the eileans and there was more caught in thon big creel at the heid o the quay .if that is taeping it might be later than 1962 jeck.

archie rigger had tudor rose in 1968 bought her from mallaig remember her at prawns out of girvan before thatcanna mind yr howard

Says 62 on postcard James..   Just had a thought, was fair wind built before taeping?  think I'm getting mixed up I'm going by their numbers................  That green boat couldny be ronnie brownie could it?

Did ye notice the Calanus andthe Mizpah in the bay James?

the small boat outside is the merlinwas owned by donnie mclachlan thats cambells uncle fincutter

a think the fair wind would be before taeping i a noticed calanus and mizpah .whit yr had your father silver cloud.

Easy Alistair, read the comment I left above. Couldnae remember the name but kent the owner.
Canny remember James. I think Andy Hislop was skippering her in early 64. Dodi jack will ken. He was in her when we bocht her.  Still puzzled by Taeping and wee Britannia being there......  In those days numbers were allocated in order, Taeping 237 and Fair Wind 177. That makes Fair wind older.. I thocht Taeping came after Marie 211 and Aliped ix 234. See the point I'm makin James? If that 's Taeping, Fair wind should be on the go. So why's the Britannia still there? Were Hercules and Taeping the gether then? Did Fair Wind neebur wee Brittania? I'M JUST TOO YOUNG
