We are very grateful to Aonghus Donohue and his father, Coleman, for these pictures of the Kiloran G 209. She was originally built at Campbeltown Shipyard as Kiloran INS 10 (Yard No. 63) in 1983 for Lorant Andrews of Lossiemouth. Kiloran INS 10 became the Rosemount PD 313 in 1999 until she was bought by Charlie McBride in 2015. Charlie also owned the Campbeltown-built Arcane. As you will read below she came into the ownership of the Donohue family, who have restored her, and are now fishing around Ireland with her.
If you are interested in fishing boats in Ireland, Aonghus recommends a Facebook Group, called A day in the Life of Kilkeel Harbour. The group is run by Leslie Campbell.
Here follows some photos of the Kiloran G 209. She is owned by my father, Coley Donohue. He purchased her from Charlie McBride in January 2018.
She was fully stripped back to the bare hull in 2015 and was an ongoing project in Kilkeel until she was finished in January 2019.
We currently are seine netting with her, fishing around Ireland with her. Kilornan’s home port is Rossaveel in Co. Galway.
