Good to see the Viking as she looks today, do you have any more?

I was also looking for photos of the two factory ships which I heard that the Sinclairs bought a while after selling the Viking.

I heard they work out of Chile? Hercules and Poseidon someone said they were called.

Craig1128 you being the marine guy for the Orkney Today newspaper should know what they have bought and where they are working out of. I am sure if you ask Angie he will get you a couple of photos for the paper

Thats all I do know about them, their names.I would be interested to see what they look like, and this seemed to be a natural place to ask after seeing pictures of the Viking, which brought it back into my mind.

I was going to speak to Angie in the New Year and maybe do a bit in the paper about the boats, as I am sure folk would be interested. I have already done a couple of stories about Orkney fishermen working abroad at different fisheries as you may know, one of which is a regular poster on this site.

Since you seem to know me, who are you?
