Accidents and Incidents
From the Haverfordwest & Milford Haven Telegraph of Wednesday 16th April 1913:
On Thursday there was a welcome visitor in the steam trawler Larchwood of Grimsby, which landed a good catch, including about 12 trunks of soles. We hear she is likely to run to Milford for a time, under the management of Mr. Brand and Co.
