Sad to see a Trawler beached like that and one that was shortly to ends its life cut up on the beach!
I have moved the photograph into the Wrecks Category as it is better suited there.

Since she went ashore she's definately moved a bit and she's lying further over to port than she was.

They're not built as strong as that class was nowadays. Put a "modern" trawler on those rocks for the same period of time with the same weather and 90% of them would be in bits by now. Built them to last back then Ally nae like nowadays lol.
Nowadays a boats designed to last 20 years tops back then they were built to last 30+ years which is why more than half of that class are still fishing to this day. Strong hulls , stable , very economic on fuel ( ok not when at the twin rig but at the pair trawl / pair seine they hardly burn fuel ) so they're still a strong favourite for the white fish boys.
