Accidents and Incidents:

From the West Wales Guardian of Friday 17th August 1951:

 

    J.C. Llewellin (Trawlers) Ltd. announced this week that they will shortly be sending two more pairs to join the River Spey and Shielburn, and the Lord Cecil and Lord Northcliffe, on the western fishing grounds.

    The trawler Sedock, which fished out of Milford with the Pair Company during the war, has been purchased, and another trawler is to be matched with her.  On Wednesday two more trawlers bought by the firm, and which they intend to pair up, left Ymuiden (Holland), and they should arrive in Milford on Monday.
