General History:
MOUNT EDEN was built by John Lewis for the John Lewis Fishing Division in 1957. All the boats in the John Lewis Fishing Division were built by John Lewis Shipyard. The others include MOUNT EVEREST and MOUNT MELLERAY. They had a dark blue hull, light blue deck, housing funnel and John Lewis flag on the funnel.
MOUNT EDEN was similar to MOUNT EVEREST but was 4' longer and built two years later than EVEREST.
In 1972 The John Lewis Fishing Division was bought over by British United Trawlers (BUT) as with other Aberdeen trawl owners also in Hull & Grimsby.
MOUNT EDEN sailed under BUT owners until 1977/78 when she was sold to George Wood of Aberdeen.
According to Lloyd's Register 1981, class was suspended on 06/08/1981, owners listed as Metal Recoveries (Newhaven) Registered Aberdeen.
In 1991 MOUNT EDEN was still registered as a side fishing, now owned by Millbay Trawler Mangement, Aberdeen.
