General History:
LORWOOD was a seiner net fishing based on a John Lewis pocket trawler design, along with another vessel, LINWOOD, for Don Fishing Co., Peterhead. LORWOOD was one of the latest Lewis's pocket trawlers to be fitted with a Deutz engine instead of the usual Mirrless fitted to the early vessels, as was LINWOOD.
LORWOOD was sold in 1987, where a gutting shelter was added. In 2005 a 4/5th shelter deck was added.
