I remember a painting of a ship hanging in the hall when I was a child. It was the ship my Grandfather sailed in. it disappeared many years ago, probably in one of my Mothers house upgrades (the BBC has a lot to answer for).
It was a coasting collier, similar to a Kelly's coal boat.
I believe he did a lot of coasting Whitehaven/Maryport to Ireland and usually worked for Fishers of Newry.
I would be grateful for any information about the ship, many thanks. E S.
