History
GLADYS was built in 1901 by Neakle and Watterson at Peel and issued with the fishing number PL 61. She has had at least two refits and various rebuild work over time.
At the time of registration, GLADYS was undergoing some much needed conservation work including framing, planking, keelson, keel bolts, beamshelf, beams, deck and hatches. Since then, she has been relaunched and work has continued on the deck and interior.
