Home › Clubs & Community › REAPER › The Story of Reaper Reaper is a Fifie Sailing Herring Drifter, the most popular design of fishing boat on the East Coast of Scotland for the greater part of the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Built by J & G Forbes at their yard at Sandhaven near Fraserburgh in 1902 for the Buchan family who lived in St. Combs, she began life as a two masted sailing lugger. With a length of 70' she was rigged with a dipping lug foresail and a standing lug mizzen. First registered in Fraserburgh in 1902 (FR 958) and used for drift net and great line fishing she was sold to new owners in Shetland in 1908. In the late 1930's she held the record catch of herring in Shetland, some 223 crans - almost a quarter of a million fish. Originally built as a sailing lugger, she had an engine installed for the first time in 1916. G a l g a e l. National Maritime Museum. Sailing Navies: 1650-1850.

[ad#intheboatshed-post] One of the treats of the Beale Park Thames Boat Show was seeing one of John Macaulay’s traditional Hebridean skiffs full of old-fashioned boatbuilding features.
Note the short floors and ribs, for example – they’re very much what one sees in a Viking ship or Viking canoe. What’s more, the oarlocks and oars obviously belong to a time before the fashion for adopting rowing racing practice brought in round oars in round oarlocks capable of being rotated.

The Shipping Registers - A Venture with Am Baile. 19 Aug 2002The Shipping Registers - A Venture with Am Baile Ross & Cromarty Heritage Society 1 Castle Street Dingwall IV15 9HU Office: 01349 861555 Dear Sir, Smuggling on Solway Firth and Galloway coasts, Scotland. Guide-Book: Scotland Annan is on the A75 8m W of Gretna; Waterfoot and Kenziels are just S of the town at NY1965 Ruthwell is 8m farther W (map 85).
There is a wealth of stories and legends about smuggling on the north coast of the Solway, and it seems clear that the enormous majority of goods smuggled into Scotland were landed here. The proximity of the wicked Isle of Man gave the local smugglers a considerable advantage over their competitors elsewhere on the coast. Tin Fish Is One-Man Submarine.
