Subject notes
The boat is the Corn Rig BCK83 built in Alloa in 1911 for William Murray (senior) of Buckie. She was 35 tons and 40 HP with a steel hull, length overall 26.5m. In the 1928 almanac she is listed as being owned by J McK Murray and others before being sold to Andrew Wilson and others of Buckie when her name was changed to the Hazeldale BCK83 .

Some time after this, having been converted to motor power, she was transferred to William Wilson and others of Fleetwood (c.1958), keeping her name and number. She is not featured in any almanacs after 1967. (Source: Linda McGowan, Curator, Scottish Fisheries Museum)
