| Aberdeen "Evening Express"323 SKIPPER FEARED LOST One of Aberdeen's best known trawl skippers is feared to have been lost at sea. He is Mr. William McPherson, 204 Victoria Road. Mr. McPherson has a family of nine daughters, three of whom are married and three are at school. A native of Whinnyfold, Mr. McPherson, who is fifty years of age, has been at sea since he was nineteen. He has been a skipper for twenty years, but it was only within the last year that he transferred from line fishing to trawling. During the last war Mr. McPherson was first engaged on patrol work and then as a pilot skipper at Lerwick. "The Real Price of Fish, Trawler Losses 1887-1961" by George F. Ritchie323 The Oriole was originally one of the large fleet belonging to Kelsall Brothers, Beeching Ltd. of Hull, all named after birds, and was registered as H926.
