HARTLEPOOL FISH QUAY

An early postcard from the collection of Owen Corrigan. No year on this I'm afraid.

The middle trawler is LT1166 EAGER.
Details at: http://www.fleetwood-trawlers.info/inde ... er-lt1166/
She had a long life (1912-1972), so does not help much in dating the photo, except it looks to be before she was converted to motor in 1954.
Can't immediately find any details for the LOCARNO on the right, except she seems to be the drifter illustrated at:

A more modern vessel inherited that name from 1965.
