Event Details
This month’s meeting of the Asby History Group will be held on3 May in the Village Hall.
John Rayment will present the story of the restoration of a Fleetwood fishing smack by the name of “Harriet”. Harriet is the last surviving Fleetwood built and registered fishing smack, a unique example of a type which evolved specifically for work in the difficult waters of the Irish Sea and the North West coast. Fishing smacks were sail driven craft and were the fore runners of the modern deep sea trawlers. She is currently undergoing restoration at Fleetwood museum.
