Postcard entitled 'The Harbour, Campbeltown'.
The inner harbour, Campbeltown, c 1955, showing the cruiser-sterned ring-netters ‘Fiona’ CN165 and ‘Amalthea’ CN143 and (foreground) ‘Kia Ora’ CN62.
‘Fiona’ was launched in February 1949 from Fairlie Yacht Slip for Peter McKinlay, Campbeltown. Her first skipper was Danny McAulay and thereafter Peter himself (see 4358 for further particulars).

‘Amalthea’ was built in 1948 by J. N. Miller & Sons, St Monans, for James ‘Creel’ McLean. She was sold in 1961 to George Donnan, Portavogie, and returned to Campbeltown in 1971 as the ‘Boy Danny’ of Avoch. Her skipper-owner, Dugald Shaw, named her ‘Girl Zena’ CN177, after his wife, Zena Coffield, and worked her as a prawn-trawler. She was sold to Burra Island, Shetland, in 1984.

‘Kia Ora’, Campbeltown’s first purpose-built seine-netter, was launched by Miller, St Monans, in 1927, as ‘Roxana’ CN221 for John McMillan. She afterwards became BA110 but was brought back to Campbeltown in 1959 by Andrew ‘Bomber’ Brown, who registered her CN62.
