Just found out that this is the former great line fishing vessel Glen Struan A200. Built by the Mitchell's shipyard in Peterhead in 1958 as a distant water great liner ( she fished miles of set lines with thousands of hooks and was fishing for Halibut , cod, premium fish ). She originally had a refrigerated fish hold ( something that didn't come into general use amongst the fleet till 10-12 years ago ) and fished around Iceland and Greenland. She was built to be converted into a side trawler and she was only fishing as a great liner for a few years before her owners had her converted. She fished out of Aberdeen for the P & J Johnstone fleet.

Hi Davie,
many thanks for the additional interesting information. I love these old trawlers, I know some on the site don't think they have a place here ut I'd beg to differ 8-)

Same here John , I did have 920 photo's up here at one point most of which were fishing vessels. I'm glad to see the Glen Struan as the Dawn Gem was originally called still afloat and not converted into razor blades.
