Once Upon a Foreign Land
All Ye mariners stand, asking, Where am I, where am I? But try as ye may, ye not be understood, so in frustration ye sail away, not knowing were next ye be understood! So what's the moral of the storey?
All Ye mariners sail unto the Island of Rockets, languages that is, and there finding the solution to your language dilemma will never be a problem again.

Welcome to the Classic Trawler Network, our network is dedicated to presenting, preserving, fostering and sharing the history of the Malahide and Romsdal Trawlers built in an era when power cruising was in it's infancy.

The Classic Trawler Network began 2009 with a renewed focus on presenting the most comprehensive and up to date information available on Malahide and Romsdal Trawlers. Over the last six months the site has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. This has been a very long winded process and is still not complete as yet, although we are much closer than we were six months ago. That being said, the final touches are being applied as you read this and over the next few weeks Beta testing will be carried out before the new site goes live.

During the last few days we have moved to our own server and there have been a few problems, that have caused our webmaster to pull a bit more of what little hair he has left out, as of this morning, Sunday 29th March 2009 the issues should have been sorted. If you are a regular visitor to our site you will probably have noticed that the old site is still running, this is because we had to move fast and still keep the site operational. As stated above we will be conducting Beta testing of the new site over the next few weeks and when we are statisfied that everything is working properly it will be launched.

During the last few months digging around on the Internet some very interesting information on other North Sea type trawlers has been found, some of this info will begin to appear on the new site, along with an open invitation to send us details about your own vessels, particularly if it is a converted fishing vessel, or built on lines taken from an mfv, such as the Inchcape, Buckie and Fraserborough trawlers etc.

For some time now, an internal debate has been raging on the pro's and con's of having other trawler types shown on the site. Although the primary reason for setting up the Classic Trawler Network was to present as much information as could be gathered on Malahide and Romsdal Trawlers they are not the only vessels of there type, far from it, one only has to start looking for infornmation about Scottish, Irish, Scandinavian and Baltic trawlers to realise that vessels from these areas are the forerunners of the Malahide and Romsdal Trawlers.
