    Morning Dawn built Forbes 61.
    Lovely boat built for Alex Morgan snr and family .. fished mainly by David, his son, when he retired. Similar to Daisy PD334 which sank, and Dauntless LK, but slightly longer.
    Built with RR engine and partially refridgerated hold . Sealed 'thwartships section held 200 cwts of fish. This was in 1961 .. boat ahead of her time. The Rolls Royce engine was a disaster, like others at the time. Golden Harvest FR, and Star of Bethlehem PD.
    Metal sheeting on port side was to prevent hooks getting stuck in boat's side when hauling lines.
