Jan, Not long after this she was renamed Carol Anne. Was only for pleasure and diving.
B 8 ? Could be ,but the chain plate would hardly cover a B. Would remind me of a well proven design by a well known builder. Built 1966 do you think ,a bit soon to be pensoined off.

Hello Wully / Donald / Kelpie, no name of the builder, when she was PD 448 the owners were: John Thomas, Newcastle and George Wilson, North Shields.
She is in Olsen with just a B and no number, her owner was : Richard W. Greeves, Donaghadee, Co. Down.

Jan indeed R. Greeves is at the wheel,his wife on the bow line and my ex doing what she does best ! There was talk of a Manx skipper being skipper on her but I don't think it materialised, never knew her to throw a net over the side.

Wully is there not a similarity in your the vessel in your signature photo ?
