General History:
ISADALE was one of the many pocket class fishing boats built by John Lewis from the 1960s to the 1970s.
In 1996 all trawl gear and masts were removed from the ship plus stern housing. 3/4 length aluminium shelter deck was added from the forecastle to the last quarter deck, seine net winches and gear were added.
On 20 February 2011 ISADALE ran aground entering Fleetwood Dock Channel. Inshore fishing vessel BLUE MINK went to assist, to tow off ship from grounding but her propeller was fouled and she had to be towed into Fleetwood Marine by ALB. At 11pm both lifeboats were launched and ISADALE refloated 12pm.
