History

Built in 1938 by Macduff Engineering, ESTHER COLLEEN is a fishing trawler which was registered as PZ232. Her hull is carvel, built of larch on oak and her current engine is an inboard diesel by DAF, 320 HP made in 1993. In 1999, her owner reported that for the previous 15 years she had worked out of Brixham.

In 1993, she collided with a naval frigate and was substantially rebuilt with a new redwood deck by shipwright Bob Cann. At present she is rigged for diving. She is a classic example of a Scottish MFV, still in working order.
