"Budding Rose PD 84 built in Lewis Shipyard Aberdeen
In early 1973 after a period when my father was repeatedly asked to go relief skipper in different boats including William Morgan’s SUNDARI, after visiting the John Lewis shipyard in Aberdeen with William Morgan (who's new vessel SUNDARI was building at the time) my father decided to build a new vessel in partnership with the Don fishing company with John Stephen as mate, and Walter Strachan as engineer. In the summer of 1974 while waiting for his new vessel to be completed my father went relief skipper of the BOY ANDREW WK174 working the seine-net very successfully South-east of Peterhead.
On October 4th 1974 at Lewis Shipyard in Aberdeen the 84 foot steel seine-net trawler BUDDING ROSE PD84 was launched. My father fished the herring pair trawl at the west coast grounds, and the seine-net out of Peterhead. In 1975 he was joined by my brother James, and then in 1977 by my brother Peter".
