Re: Manx Fishing Boats
In Response To: Re: Manx Fishing Boats ()

Hi Charles,

The book I have does not have a picture of Western Maid I'm afraid. However, it has the following information. Her number was PL179, owned by C. Morrison and others, skipper at the time was J. Moore. She is described as a "first class boat" of 17 tons, built in 1872.

One of my ancestors, John Hughes, age 19 is also on this boat in the 1881 census.

Hope this helps

Jane
