FY221 Our Boys.
On many occasions when I photograph a vessel that looks interesting, I do not appreciate its historical significance until a much later date when I am searching my image collection for a suitable candidate for upload to this web site. A case in point is this image of the Fishing Ketch Our Boys FY221 that I photographed in October 2007. Our Boys was built in Cornwall by Richard Pearce and was involved in Commercial Drift Net Fishing for Pilchards and Mackerel from 1904 until 1978. This image shows her anchored in the protected waters of the River Medina at Cowes Isle of Wight. I presume she is now a privately owned sailing yacht.
