Comments
My Dad (Stan Pepper) bought the "Gratitude" RX130 about 1960 from a Dungeness fisherman called Albert Richardson for £400.00.
It was renamed "Joan" after my Mum but still keeping the RX130.
It fished from Hastings beach until 1965 when my Dad sold it to a Rye fisherman.
I think the boatyard is Phillips' of Rye.
The Hastings fishing vessel "Our Pam & Peter" RX58 looks nothing like the boat in the photograph whereas it looks exactly like "Gratitude"
I'll post again if I find out more.
