General History:
GLENESK was built in 1971 by John Lewis & Son as one of the pocket class fishing vessels for trawler owners and agents Peter & J. Johnstone of Aberdeen (fishing boat owners) but were bought over by the big trawling co. in Hull, J. Marr, at the time GLENESK and her sister ship was ordered. GLEN AFFRIC was also built for Marrs. Marrs was a big fishing company in Hull that had a fleet of large freezer fishing boats.
GLENESK was sold in 1981 to Jonathan Tyrell Abbey, agent J. Marr & Son, Hull, and renamed ALCARONDAS.
In 1983 she was renamed DYKARLYN, PD477 for Charles Brown, C. Brown & Charles Middleton, agent Peter & J. Johnson Ltd, Peterhead. Converted in 1984 from a side fishing vessel to seiner/trawler. They had a unusual set up of having her rope reels and winch at the stern.
In 1994 she was sold to Peter J. Johnstone and renamed ANCHOR OF HOPE.
