 Accidents and Incidents

From the West Wales Guardian of  Friday 26th January 1962:

 

    Richards Ironworks of Lowestoft have added a trawler to their order book for the Milford Haven owners Messrs. Jack Mitchell and Noel Bray, who are already the joint owners of a Milford drifter-trawler, the Ocean Breeze, which is commanded by Skipper Bray himself.

    The new vessel will be 1011 ft., with a transom stern and diesel powered.  She will be similar to a number of craft in the Lowestoft fleet, including the Boston Widgeon, Boston Buccaneer, and Bickleigh, all built by Richards to be delivered next autumn.

    The new trawler will be named the Jacklyn, a name with close associations with the Mitchell family, Skipper Bray and the port of Milford.

    Another new vessel for the drifter trawler section of the local fleet goes on trials at Lowestoft next week.  She is the 101ft. overall diesel ship Jacklyn, built by Richards Ironworks Ltd. for Jacklyn Ltd., Milford Haven.

    The owning firm's principals are Skipper Noel Bray, who will command the Jacklyn, and Mr. Jack Mitchell, whose schoolgirl daughter christened the new vessel two months ago.

    The Jacklyn will go on trials out of Lowestoft on Saturday, September 29th.  She will be managed by Mitchell Bros.
