MILFORD HAVEN
..........
NEW TRAWLERS FOR THE PORT
It is with pleasure we report the news that Mr. H. G. D. Birt, late manager for the Castle Steam Trawlers, had two steam trawlers called the "S.S. Anglia" and "S.S. Dania", launched from the yard of Smith's Dock Company, North Shields, on Monday last. The vessels are of the most modern type, and are fitted with the latest improvements. The ceremony of christening the trawlers was successfully performed by Mrs. Nightingale, wife of Capt. W. Nightingale, of this port.

From the Haverfordwest & Milford Haven Telegraph of Wednesday 7th December 1904:
The fine new steamers recently built to the order of Milford's Mr. G. H. D. Birt, have both made their initial trip to the port in the course of the last few days. The "Anglia" (Captain Nightingale) landed on Thursday with a good catch, which realised about £240. The "Dania" (Captain Huddlestone) came in for Monday's market, and considering that, on account of the wild weather at sea catches were generally on the small side, she made a successful maiden voyage.
