Here is her history as I have it. Note Reg should read A.203. A member of the Livingston family sent some photos of all there ships as new except for this one. If you come across one could you let me know as they would dearly like a copy for their private collection. The Miramar index has her scrapped in 2007 but the EU register still has her fishing in 2008. There are pictures of her sister ship "Teresa Watterston" on my website   www.grantontrawlers.com which maybe of use.

regards

Andy
