My father was born in Arbroath and eventually ran a marine engineering company with his father . Most of those fishing boats had Gardner or Kelvin power units . Beccles coilers , Sutherland winches etc . Hard working skippers and crew who deserved every penny . All knackered with the EU .

It's the harbour as I like to remember it.
Fantastic look into the past.
Shame on the system that got rid of these boats. Eating fish from these boats is the same as drinking wine from a fine oak barrel.
