Latest news from the heritage
Many of you will not have listened to the poem of the loss of the Evangeline, a zulu boat which was out of Portknockie, the crew were all from the village with the young cook from Cullen. The crew perished on the night of the 16/17th January 1905 when she was caught out at sea in a severe storm. When we did the Fishing 1909 dvd we put in the poem written by a Stronsay Minister at the time. It is a beautiful poem and one of our lovely ladies in the Buckie Blethers, Isobel Geddes, was asked to read the poem for us so we could add it to the DVD - that and the fantastic musical background by Ronnie Thain gives the haunting poem the backing it deserves. You must see it on the first page and please listen to it.

Our members who use the Forum on the old web site will see that it has been discontinued and all queries will be directed via our Facebook entry. We shall still offer the same service as much as possible. Our forum was being attacked on a daily basis by scammers attempting to join to use the forum for their own ends. Hence the reason for closing it down. Alwyn Anderson - this gentleman wrote to us lately seeking a number of photographs from the book BCK Motor Boats Volume 1 which is on sale from the usual outlets and our own website shop. Unfortunately Mr Anderson did not include his address or an email address for us to get in touch with him. If he could write again to the Buckie & District Fishing Heritage Centre, Cluny Place, Buckie, Banffshire AB56 1 HB then we will deal with his request - if anyone knows where Alwyn lives - we would like to have his address! |
