History

SHEARBILL is a wooden fishing vessel, built in 1956 and powered by a 128 kw engine. In January 2008, it was reported by her owner that her condition was poor but salvageable. The original engine had gone and a replacement Ruston 6 cylinder Turbo Kw was waiting to be fitted. Some original fittings had been removed and the wheel house had been modified, but a full restoration was planned to restore her as much as possible to her original owner.
