Called the Splendor when this was taken Dave, 1 of D.J.Formans fleet
stephen bruce's old command,she was the (ARGO) from fraserburgh,prosperity lying astern............
did that boat start its life with the wheelhouse situated there ?
Wheelhouse was aye forrit Davie,but she did have a whaleback when she was built,don't think they kept it on very long though.
ats right ronnie was built with whaleback.taken off cos deck cracking with heat.
Whaleback taken off because she filled with water not because of heat and wheelhouse looks different to original
where did she fill of water at the ska?dinna think she was aff past the HOP
A lump o water filled up the whale back i day and they decided to take it aff , that came from a crew man at the time
I heard that story as well Willie,supposed to have taken a lump aboard gaun intae the Broch,but I've also heard that it was a load o' rubbish that yarn,so which one is the correct version?....the truth is out there somewhere
Well that was a crewman at the time that told me maybe the owner himself will say he is a member here Ronnie or the old fella can say but the crewman is also a member here as well so I believe him
