    Another PD classic from Richard Irvin & Sons, built in 1953, yard number 044. Great photograph. When magnified you can pick out the Irvin's emblem on the name board.  It is a very distinctive design which features on all their builds.
    Fine photo,would look good framed!
    New caisson with A-frame seine-net derricks, 200hp Gardner, trawl winch (belt driven..poss. among the last as hydraulics became order of the day), gallows fitted aft. Nice slice of fishing history..boat refurbished for trawling, but rigged for drift-net.
    Oh, nearly forgot TV aerial. Need a proper picture, lads!!
    Can go to sea minus a power block, but TV is a must!
