I have a lot of documents and I have been in contact with Brixham Heritage Museum and we can find some info there. But I have hoped fore more.

Can you help me get in contact with some one or maybe a journalist from a local news paper!

NB Iris is still on water totally stripped and ready for restoration. I also was in contact with Mike Ticehurst, Mobilnr, Norway, 909 77 440.

I have been told that this is the oldest smack cutter in the world from this area.

Yours sincerely

Per O.Larsen
