Whitby harbour, the fishing vessel, in the foreground, has the name Ocean Venture, Whitby. But the K Y lettering suggests it is from Kirkcaldy in Scotland. The boat has large rope reels, a gutting shelter forward and is possibly a seine netter. Jim Hebden tells us: ”The Whitby fishing boat in the photograph is the Ocean Venture KY209 bought from Scotland in 1962 the Ocean Venture was trawler and seine netter and she was owned by father and son Jack and Jim Hebden.”
