We are very grateful to Ronnie Young for this article about the Campbeltown-built Maggie M MBE SH 170 (Yard No 81) which was written by Hugh Allen and published in Fishing News on 15th April, 1988. The Maggie M MBE was built for Scarborough Skipper, Bob Mainprize, and was named in honour of his mother. Bob had the construction of his boat, its sea trials and its launch filmed and you can view these videos here on the archive. (Search for Maggie M MBE). The last record we have of the Maggie M MBE is that she was renamed in 2017 and is still fishing as the Courage SH 170.
