Hi Martin,

Think I have one from 1986 if any good.

I would have to tear the place apart but I think its still in the house.

If I find it you are welcome to it,

Anyone got information on DUNDARG FR121 before 1950 and between 1957 and 1968? She may have been FR119 in her early days. Call sign GKTD. She was built in 1939 by Wilson Noble, Fraserburgh. So might have seen war service. Thanks. Mike

Pisces SY223

Dave,
Thanks for your prompt response.
Cunninghams must have had her converted to a cargo ship round about 1934Pisces must have been owned prior to this by someone else from the Islands in the 1920's.

Steam drifters Pisces and Speedwell dragged their anchors in Loch Seaforth in 1920's and sank,both were salvaged by John Cunningham from Scalpay, Harris,
Early 1920's Olsens Almanac may hold imformation who owned them at time of sinking.
Was the Pisces still owned by James Anderson and others and re-registered in Stornoway? Who owned Speedwell?
