Accidents and Incidents

From the West Wales Guardian of Friday 12th September 1952:

 

    One of the port's oldest trawlers, the Surmount (the late Captain Evans, "Westmount", Picton Road, Hakin), has been sold to Mr. Danny Howells for scrap by the executors of Captain William Evans' estate.  Work has already begun on the removal of the superstructure.
