General History:
For trawling work and pair fishing. Motor trawler. One of two ships built by Hall Russell's for Spanish owners, the other ship being TOLOSA. Both ships, in Lloyd's Register, 1930, are noted as being steam but have also been noted as having an oil engine.

Both ships were sold in 1934 to Tomas Lerchuni e Hijos, and DEVATARRA was renamed LEGASPI until 1942, when it was acquired by Soc RC Hijos T Lerchundi and renamed PESQUERO LEGASPI.
Both ships were owned in the early 1960s by Angel Gonzalez Amado, and there is no further record after 1978 but TOLOSA, her sister ship, can be traced up to 2000.
