Reviewing old research

I say trawler Tony but she has the looks more of a Drifter hence the sail. Also the size of the vessel. JS

While we are on the subject of Peterhead, has anyone heard from Bill Morrison, I've not seen him in site lately?

THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE OLDER OF COURSE

PD 761 Daisy 1888-1907 And the Peterhead is correct!! Fishing Trawlers! Many of them all with the PD Numbers in fact from 1 to 1448. on the Peterhead Heritage Page


History:
1888 completed and registered PD 761 Daisy
1907 December 11th., Peterhead registry closed, vessel sold to Portgordon.
1907 December 18th., Registered BCK 8 Daisy
1908 September 14th., Buckie registry closed, vessel sold to Brora.
1908 registered WK ? (possibly WK 663)

Now back to the Thread in Question.

Apologies for for going off on tangent, just the mention of Peterhead triggered my brain recalling not seeing him.

Going back to PD registration , this is the same as a ships lifeboat sails they are lettered with the first and last letters of the ships name and the number of the boat. My first thoughts were the Shields trawlers with SN for some reason , if first and last should have been NS. So Peterhead is almost 100% correct ? JS

Thanks JS but lets now please just stay on track with the post in Question Thanks
