History
SCOTS MISS, a fishing vessel, was built in 1932 and first fished out of Maidens as BA196. In 1947, she moved to Tarbert as TT135. She retired from her fishing service in 1964 and was converted by Hallidays of Ramsgate. The vessel's Gardner 4L3 engine, number 29791, was the first L3 series engine made by Gardner and was sent to an exhibition in New York in 1932, prior to being installed in MAIREARED. SCOTS MISS was converted to a leisure motor sailer in 1964 and remains in her converted condition.
