Hello Alan, hope this keeps connected for I was disconnected umpteen times when replying to yours on Sammy and fery No. 6.
I don't know, as when I seen them in the 60's and again here, I had assumed they were probably from Belfast, like the ones that ferried the shipyardmen over from the Ballast quay area to the Basin.
After Dougie and Sammy retired they must have sold them on, though both men have passed on now, so I can#t ask them, but one of the boats was in the White Harbour (Below the Blahole, near Cloghin Point,), but was in a bad state in late 90's after being swamped by the high seas coming over the harbour wall.
brings back memories my oul boy misjudges goin on it one night after a few jars in larne to go on the ballymore at ballylumford sobbered up pretty quick
