I remember that this Lady was always in the top couple of ships whenever she landed
I used to follow her fortunes in the Fishing News.
Those were the days -- every week the names of the ships landing, kits an what they made.

She only had a few regular skippers.
Tommy Spall took her when new 1960 to 1965
Vic Meech was her second regular skipper from 1965 to 1968
Eddie St Pierre her third skipper from 1968 to 1973
Roy Kurz her final skipper from 1973 to 1976 when scrapped
Of course there where other relief skippers on her from time to time.

Had a look round this one when i was in grimsby doing my deckie learner bit in 1978. awsome ship. probably the best looking one to sail from gy. but a sad sight to see so many tied up waiting to be broken up at the time.

Only seen her once in SY about 75,not many of the GY's bigger ship's called in here in those day's but she was probably the best looking ship of that type i have ever seen.And she was rarely out of the top earner's in the GY list in the FN at the time.
