Aye Allan all the Mannies who new all the boats and there history seems to missing from this thread. I am sure I have seen something about the Alert and Davie Irivine on the Orkney Library Archive site but I cant find it now. Peter Macdonald would know the answer to your question you will find him a lot on this thread. I remember as a boy Davie Irvine and Willie Groat coming round the north isles with the Otter Bank in the early 60s. Heard recently that Davies wife belonged to Papay. Hope you find a answer to your question.
