We are very grateful to Bobby Wylie, formerly of Campbeltown Shipyard, for this collection of photos of the Campbeltown-built Guardian Angell K 535 (Yard No. 91) which was launched in 1992. She was built for Balfour Bain & Partners, Kirkwall, Orkney. These photos were taken at the time of her launch. We believe the Guardian Angell is still fishing in Shetland as the Courageous LK 272. We’d be keen to put names to the faces on the launch party pictures and also to hear from her current owners. If you can help please get in touch by email
