Accidents and Incidents
From an unknown local newspaper of c.Thursday 16th November 1939:
It is good news for Milford that the trawler fleet, which has been so depleted since the outbreak of war, is to be augmented by three vessels which have been purchased from Aberdeen.
Two, the River Ythan and the Sureaxe, are being added to the growing fleet of that enterprising firm of Yolland and Llewellin. These vessels can be adapted for Spanish fishing, of course, but for the meanwhile will probably be put on mixed fishing. They are 112 ft. and 115 ft. in length.
The other purchase is by Mr. Herman Westenborg, another go-ahead owner. The vessel is the Craiganeran, and has been bought from Mr. George Craig of Aberdeen.
The trawlers are expected to arrive shortly, and will be a welcome addition to the local fleet.
