Fire ?

BA 220, (Spindrift) Prawn Trawler tied up in Girvan Harbour.

Built: Launched on 22 August 1974 by Alexander Noble & Sons Ltd in Girvan, Scotland (a respected local boatyard known for building sturdy wooden or composite fishing vessels). The prefix BA is for the port of Ballantrae down the coast.

Despite many searches I am unable to find any information as to the cause of the damage, electrical or engine I would guess, however lack of news or search engine information would indicate no injuries were sustained!

Hopefully a HFF and good weekend to all

A very interesting shot of this boat in this familier harbour Roger. It looks pretty busy! Fire was (is) a reoccurring risk in fishing boats and so no real surprise here. Well shared.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb

Thank you Herb, one of the search sites said it is so common few ever get reported on!

HFF interesting story I suppose it could have been at the quayside at the time of the damage

7 weeks ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Colin Ashcroft ^club

Thank you Colin, you could be correct, I found it quite odd that one of the search engines said it is a common occurrence on fishing boats and the majority appear to be unreported!

A superbly sharp and detailed shot Roger, full of different shapes and textures and rust..!! Certainly a mystery!!

I found a photo of it on someone's FB page.........and it looks in worse condition than it's in now..!!

Many thanks for the link Keith, It has obviously been moved from the quayside and looks to be in the river (Girvan water ) close to the boatyard where she was built.

I am fascinated and will pursue this farther if possible!

Hi Roger
A really nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting composition made from the rusty remains!
As to the cause, it could be no more than vandals...
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thank you Peter, it is such a busy port 24 hrs a day with many security cameras I suspect vandalism is unlikely
