Note<\/em>: “The choice of the MARGARET ROSE to make the voyage to Georges Bank gave Mrs Holmes (wife of Skipper Walter Holmes named after herself MARY and daughter ROSE) great pleasure… Boston’s wasted no time in putting their project into operation and shortly afterwards the MARGARET ROSE lay in Wyre Dock looking more like a coal tip than a trawler.
\nCoal was piled everywhere – after the bunkers had been packed to capacity the decks were loaded high until the vessel&s scuppers were two inches below water and she was almost awash. At this point the Board of Trade stepped in and on their instructions a large quantity of coal was bagged and moved aft to lift the bows to a safer level. Even this adjustment left her alarmingly low in the water but she was given the all clear to sail.” With a crew of fifteen, she carried 400 tons coal, 100 tons ice, 2 tons salt and provisions for one month. <\/p>\n
