These were identified during the exhibition in the church on 25/3/06 as Roy Gawn (Pat Gawn's husband) on the left, and Johnny Doughty on the right. It needs confirmation but Johnny was the ferryman for a period. Also the photo date may be 1962 or 1972

Tom Pope confirms the people and is sure that Elizabeth was the ferry boat.

We are sure this is the ferry boat built for the harbour by Dr Hartley and Alan thinks this would be around 1950/51
