Book excerpt: People are drawn to the harbours and boats of Scotland whether they have a seafaring background or not. Why do boats take on different shapes as you follow the complex shorelines of islands and mainland? And why do the sails they carry appear to be so many shapes and sizes? Then there are rowing craft or power-driven vessels which can also be considered 'classics', whether they were built for work or leisure. As he traces the iconic forms of a selection of the boats of Scotland, Ian Stephen outlines the purposes of craft, past and present, to help gain a true understanding of this vital part of our culture. Sea conditions likely to be met and coastal geography are other factors behind the designs of a wide variety of craft. Stories go with boats. The vessels are not seen as bare artefacts without their own soul but more like living things.

Book Synopsis Built by Nobles of Girvan by : Sam Henderson
Download or read book Built by Nobles of Girvan written by Sam Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built by Nobles of Girvan gives a wonderfully comprehensive account of one of Scotland's finest boat-building companies -Alexander Noble & Sons Ltd of Girvan - from its founding in 1946 to the present-day. The phrase 'Built by Nobles of Girvan' is synonymous with the construction of finely crafted wooden fishing vessels - in particular some wonderfully elegant and successful ring netters - yet to think of the yard as a builder of ringers only is to deny it its versatility.While the ringers take pride of place in this book it also covers the other types of fishing vessels built in Girvan, including forty-footers, seiners and trawlers as well as the yard's diversification into construction, using steel, of both fishing and non-fishing boats.This book is the master list of Nobles' fishing boats. It records the main dimensions of each boat, the major changes which took place during her lifetime and her ultimate fate. The history of the yard is covered in an insightful introduction which includes some fine fishermen's tales of big catches and happy days spent fishing, as well as detailing the other activities that took place there such as that of maintenance and repair work.Featuring over 180 photographs, many previously unpublished and from the Nobles archives, each fishing vessel is illustrated by at least one image, allowing readers the incredible opportunity to revisit the grand sight of a varnished Nobles boat in her heyday.
Book Synopsis Fishing Boats of Campbeltown Shipyard by : Peter Drummond
Download or read book Fishing Boats of Campbeltown Shipyard written by Peter Drummond and published by History Press. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The boatbuilding industry has always had its ups and downs, reflecting the changing fortunes of the fishing industry. Campbeltown Shipyard diversified its boatbuilding activities in order to survive but competition from foreign yards moved into a new dimension from the mid-1990s onwards. In addition, decommissioning, restricted days at sea, and shrinking quotas have left the Scottish fleet a shadow of its former self. However, by the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, things were beginning to look up for the remaining vessels, including several survivors of the boats built by Campbeltown Shipyard. Today the empty buildings which once comprised the shipyard betray no trace of the hive of activity which once existed there and produced some of the most successful fishing vessels ever built in Scotland, yet with former boats still turning impressive performances, the fishing industry will long remember the fishing boats of Campbeltown Shipyard.

Book Synopsis Wooden Fishing Boats of Scotland by : James A. Pottinger
Download or read book Wooden Fishing Boats of Scotland written by James A. Pottinger and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the gradual phasing out of wooden fishing boats of Scotland it is timely to record some of these handsome vessels. In the years from 1960–80 boat builders produced some of their most shapely and graceful craft, a testament to the skill of both the builders and designers. Initially the designs were a collaboration of builders and skippers, but later the implementation of statutory rules demanded a more structured approach by qualified naval architects, which inevitably resulted in a certain degree of standardisation. James A. Pottinger's new illustrated volume concentrates solely on the graceful wooden boats, large and small, regarded by many to be the best looking boats of all. Many boats are photographed at sea, while other views range from repairs being carried out to the more melancholy sight of beautiful craft being cut up. Boats were once scrapped only due to old age, but sadly political factors now often dictate the destruction of the classic wooden craft included here.

Book Synopsis Thomas Summers & Co. by : Mike Smylie
Download or read book Thomas Summers & Co. written by Mike Smylie and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the end of hostilities in 1945, the fishing industry was quick to establish some semblance of recovery and a surge of new builds and restoration of Admiralty motor fishing vessels soon followed. In Fraserburgh, on Scotland's east coast, several established yards satiated this desire amongst the fishing-boat owners for new craft. Thus it wasn't surprising that a new yard sprung up at the end of the 1940s when three local apprentices from one of the yards decided to set up their own boatbuilding yard on the breakwater, in what was a very exposed position. And so the yard of Thomas Summers & Co. was born, a yard that became synonymous with fine seaworthy fishing boats suited to various methods of fishing. In the space of just thirteen years they produced eighty-eight fishing vessels and their output was more prolific than most of the other Scottish boatyards. Many of these boats survive to this day, some still working as fishing vessels, and others converted to pleasure, a testament to their superb design and solid construction. Here, Mike Smylie recounts the story of Thomas Summers & Co. through historic records and personal memories of both fishermen and family members, with many striking photographs of the boats they built.
