And as USUAL - CA is not CATANIA....CA is CAGLIARI !!!!

Emmanuel my dear friend, a Like from me for this really nice image (it is only necessary to take a glance at the background >> how nice it is!!).
Btw, you have posted your first photo of this fishing vessel onto this website in *2012* (not 2015).
Best regards to You and Malta /Jadran

Bob ,I have already posted a photo of this said boat in 2015.Though at that time she did not carry the registration CA610 on her hull.

Pieter: I was merely trying to offer Mattyboy an answer as to why nobody had posted a photo of this fishing vessel before. Now it is bound to reach the top-three

Bob, if I were to comment on ships that I don't find interesting, the site would fill up very rapidly with antagonistic words. So I simply refrain from commenting.

Hi Bob, what are "proper ships " in your view? I say all vessels are "proper" as they all serve a purpose, could it be fishing, pleasure, commerce carrying , cruising , defence etc,look at all the categories herein.
As to my enthusiasm to fishing craft, I am not particularily enthusiastic to just fishing boats but I photograph all vessels here in our harbours as my collection of photographs witnesses, maybe some categories are more photogenic than others just like every aspect of everyday life.
thanks and regards
Emmanuel.L.(Malta)

No worries Bob, each to their own. Take it easy my friend.

I am well chilled, thank you, Mattyboy but but I'm just saying that not everyone is as enthusiastic about fishing boats (as opposed to proper ships) as you and Emmanuel might be

I second your positive comment MattyBoy, these boats and equally their hard working crews go out in rough weather battling stormy seas to put fish on our menus.I have fishermen as friends who have lost family relatives on these boats.
regards and thanks
Emmanuel.L.(Malta)
thanks and regards,

Hi Bob, chill dude, I do find fishing boats quite interesting. After all, they take one hell of a battering and her crews are closer to the sea than those in larger vessels. Best regards,

Amendment to my comment of above ,I should have added "once again" after ....recently been a visitor in our harbour. As she was recorded here in 2015.
regrets and regards
Emmanuel.L.(Malta)

Well Bob, every one has his choices and we must respect them, there must be some fishermen and also ex ones out there who are interested in these hard working craft.
thanks and regards
Emmanuel.L.(Malta)

Fishing boat probably not of much interest to most SHIPspotters hitherto

The TWENTY THREE has only recently been a visitor in our harbour, but I presume she has been in Sicilian ports being registered in Catania.
regards and thanks
Emmanuel.L.(Malta)

First time on the shipspotting huh? Where has she been hiding all these years ?
