Hoy Head Wheelhouse - again!

This is my grandfather, Donald Sinclair, in the wheelhouse of the Hoy Head. This would have been taken sometime between 1925 and 1936.

Comments:
I remember Donald telling of the time he along with another Flotta man just borrowed(!) our grandfathers dinghy to go home from Longhope for a few hours, as they were on the Hoy Head based in Longhope.
All went well untill the sprite jumped out o the shangie, and gead through the bottom o the boat. I said "were yae no feard o sinking"- "No bit I wiz bl**dy feard o tellan owld Thamson whit I hid done tae his boat!"
