Accidents and Incidents

From the Haverfordwest & Milford Haven Telegraph of Wednesday 27th November 1912:

 

     We are pleased to learn that a new steam trawler is being added to the local Milford fishing fleet.  In these days of gloom occasioned by the departure of boats to other ports, it is refreshing to welcome a new arrival.  The steam trawler "Marion", of the port of Swansea, has been acquired by Mr. G. H. D. Birt, and will land her next voyage at her new port of Milford.
