History
ALICE AND MONA was built in 1925 for John Henry Armstrong and his wife Louisa, who worked aboard her as a cargo vessel. They named her after their two daughters, Alice and Mona. She was used by Richard Hodgeson and Son Ltd Beverley in the 1940’s to transport coal, oak, and leather. In the 1970’s, a steel roof was added onto the cargo hold to create a living space.
