Aberdeen Harbour

A photograph taken in Aberdeen Harbour with a view of multiple docked steam trawlers.

Seen in the image is the fishing trawler Countess Cadogan (A869) built by J. McArthur & Co, Paisley in the Thistle Yard during 1897.

It was first registered in Dublin by The Shannon Development Co Ltd, as a passenger vessel but later came into the possession of Nicholas Cook in Aberdeen during 1917.

While in his ownership it was converted to a fishing trawler and designated A869. It was later broken up in 1927, which thus dates this image to between 1917 and 1927.
