From an original negative. The location is Grimsby’s Royal Dock. Note the COSALT and the E. Bacon & Co. Ltd. buildings in the background.

A Faroese trawler, ‘Vesturvón’ VA.200, built in Norway in 1969. (A factory trawler with the same name and number was built in 1987.)

In 1986, the vessel was sold to Boyd Line Ltd, Hull and operated as ‘Arctic Ranger’ H.155. In 1998, she went to Spain and then several other countries after that and, consequently, has had a number of name changes.
