In mid May the crew of the fishing vessel Alegna II had a lucky escape when their vessel was rammed by a scalloper out of Kilmore Quay. |
The 50-foot scalloper MFV Reliance LK 45 reported the fire to coastguards in Shetland while fishing around the islands of Yell. |
The former trawler and scalloper will start a new life as a general cargo boat operating between the islands and France. |
The scalloper, wading in the shallow water, gathers the scallops from the flats by shoving the pusher among the eel grass. |
For the two seasons previous to 1907-08 every scalloper was required to have a license. |
Previous to this year, permits were required from every scalloper. |
