    Hi Jim,
    Is it possible to ask if I could get a copy of the Northern Sun and put it on my site deepseatrawlers.co.uk

    Thanks

    No problem with that and thanks for asking. Do you want to take the one from the site or the original one?

    Jim,

    I emailed you about a fleece with ‘the bosuns watch’ . Not sure if you got my message as I’ve had problems with my email address. Is there any chance you can email me back on dickensa6@aol.com?

    Regards,

    Bob

    Hi, Trying to fine out some information in relation to an antique searchlight i got of my father. It has a stamp on the top f it with “Steam Drifters Store Co Ltd Lowestoft 401″ … Cant seem to find out any information on the ship it came of. I live in the southeast of Ireland 13 miles from Waterford city. I would be very thankfull if someone can tell me a little of its history. Many thanks, Niall

    Niall

    You might be better asking someone at the Port of Lowestoft Research Society. They would have more information on this kind of thing than we do.

    Cheers

    Jim

    Hi Jim,

    I am researching my family tree and there is a trawler S.T. Sweeper GY853 on this site that I would like a copy of the image. You have the image listed as courtesy of the JJ Collection. Is there any chance you can give me their details so that I can contact them?

    Kind regards,

    Bob
