DO YOU HAVE ANY HISTORY ON THIS BOAT AS THE NAME RINGS A BELL.

Hi Ian
You are right, when you hear a bell.....this vessel is the same as you saw in Lerwick in dec 1980, when it was painted yellow and named E 300 "Sonja Wite" of Esbjerg.
In the early 80's I was onboard this vessel every summer, because my father was one the deckhands on board...

Hi Blues...
Mermaid...in the top right..?...Lol, I only see hungry seagulls...
..As I remember, this was only a few miles from the coast, so perhaps a good binocular could have made it possible to see a single mermaid or two on the white sandy beach on that warm summerday..
