    Boatbuilders of Fraserburgh

    After the end of hostilities in 1945, the fishing industry was quick to establish some semblance of recovery and a surge of new builds and restoration of Admiralty motor fishing vessels soon followed.

  • The Boats of the Somerset Levels

    de Mike Smylie ...
    Flat-bottom craft have always been fascinating, largely because they appear so simple in their construction at first glance, made by the farmers and fishermen who used them.
