You can’t beat having your bottom scraped…

The action end of a modern trawler…
Don’t forget to lubricate your parts…

Lean on somebody when the tide is out…

I’ve gone a bit arty-farty today…
Not something you see every day…
I’ve taken photographs of the Seaker before but this one from the top of the harbour wall (a sheer drop down into the sea – EEK!)
You’ll have to take my word for it that BF515 (BF for home port Banff, Scotland) is red (and white) but she is, and she’s being fitted out in MacDuff Harbour. In this image, it is low water and Big Red is resting on the harbour bottom.
British fishing vessels have a name and a registration number. BF = Banff, Scotland and the registration number 9.
One of the older style of trawler (not many left now)
The Bulbous Forefoot or, Bulbous Bow, greatly increases fuel efficiency and the fins help with stability. More about this technology (an American invention) here. The ‘snoot’ shown below belongs to a trawler but most ships are built with bulbous bows these days.

A boat on the slip at MacDuff Harbour
The fishing vessel Lilly Oak sits on her cradle on the slip at MacDuff Harbour, Scotland. The slip is a long sloping concrete ramp (image coming soon) used to haul boats out of the water for repair and repainting. The cradle that supports the ships runs on railway lines on the slip.

The Scarborough trawler Courage early this morning, fishing nets ready….
