This boat was one of three under 55ft.,built at" Pia" Anderson's yard in Stromness. The other two being " Diana" and the" Loch Inchard,both for owners south. The"Dutch Bank" was built for Orcadian owners. We used to paint, stain and grain the Wheelhouses on these bigger Boats for "Pia's" Yard. Added by Phil Brough.

Likely to have been considerably bigger boats built just along the shore at Stanger's yard in early 20th century (where Stenigar is today) but "Dutch Bank" was biggest of 60's/70's fishing boat boom time.
