Skippers

This list contains the names of those who manned the Granton / Leith trawlers and is in no way complete. It must be remembered that all Skippers had sailed as Mate in order to attain their Skippers ticket and therefore if a Skipper appears as Mate please accept my apologies. I also apologise to the Poles & Ukrainians if I have misspelled their names. If you have any names you would like added please E mail me.  (By-names and nicknames in red)
