Description
The Fifie swan LK243 was launched in May 1900 in Lerwick. She was regarded as “one of the finest fishing boats afloat in the North of Scotland”. By 1935 the swan was one of only five herring sail boats left in Shetland. She had an engine fitted, and was given a new lease of life. Finally, in the 1950's the grand old lady was retired. In 1989 she bought for restoration and on 11th May 1996 the Swan was relaunched in Lerwick harbour, almost 96 years exactly since she first took to the water. with added textures
