Great photo Dick. Could have been taken anywhere I suppose - but this has got to be a Scottish sailing drifter - a zulu or fifie. We are looking aft at the crutch for the main mast, the angled flue from the boiler supplying steam to the winch, and the ring for attaching the block & tackle which operated the running rigging.

Going by the pig skin floats on her deck i'd say that this was taken in the 1890's to 1900 and i'd agree that this is a Fifie or a Zulu landing Herring
