Is that the Honestas or is it Bill Smiths very first Sunbeam tied up at the opposite market?.

maybe some of our Sooth Firth brothers can remember.

I tried to zoom in on it as well Ally and it looks like LH to me !!LOL. It says 1966 on the caption and that's the year I started at the sea on the Rosemount. None of the Campbells boats worked in the North Sea until they built the first Campbelltown boats in 1973. Of the other INS boats that looked like this the Rosemary worked through the Firth. The Olive Leaf and Ben Loyal etc worked from Inver. The Balmoral and Leander were probably the only INS boats landing into Aberdeen as early as that and they didn't have this type of wheelhouse. Tom Ross' Rosebloom would have landed there in '66 but she was red hulled. Bill Smiths first Sunbeam would have landed in Aberdeen but I think it was nearer 1968/9 when Peeps first went skipper not 100% sure though. I may be wrong but think it is too early for it to be an INS boat.

No Ally I think it is the Honestas. She certainly worked out of Aberdeen in 1966. I thought maybe TD or one of the other Soothies would have come in with an opinion.
