Linda might the boat belonging to your dad have been the boat that once belonged to old Davy Wilson from Lyness as sugested by Alan Besant in photo 14589?.
Boats are much more intresting than people!!.

I don't know about that John. When I took this photo, I was unaware of the car. Now Linda comments that she was in the car with her Mum. So we have the men, Linda and her Mum, and me, all connected in a split second. That makes it more than just a photo of two boats. Thanks Linda.
