Title

Fishing boat being built at Cellardyke harbour, 1937.

Description

Ring netter being built at Cellardyke harbour, 1937. Photograph taken through the window of a house opposite.

Built by the East Fife Boat Building Company. Boatbuilder George Forbes, ex-Sandhaven, was brought to Cellardyke by Provost William Carstairs to build the 'Royal Sovereign' KY75, in 1936 as a replacement for the 'Gleanaway' KY40, the first successful motor drifter. The yard closed in 1938 due to lack of orders and Forbes relocated to Peterhead.
