At the time this pcture was taken I think George & Frank Sinclair owned the Delightful. After they built the Girl Marion the Delightful was used as a tender to the dredger that was in Stromness Harbour working at that time.
Unfortunately she foundered in Hoy Sound on October 27th 1977 with the loss of her skipper/owner Brian Thorpe and his crewman Norbert Kunkel
