Re Kinlochleven.since the decision to end Aluminium smelting at Kinlochleven, well over £20m has been spent in providing a new economy for the village and in the 12 years since closure I think,rather than devastated, the community is now more resilient and more in charge of its destiny than at any stage in its history.

A very interesting site. Finding a place to moor a boat in the south of England tends to be difficult and expensive as invariably the squirearchy will have claimed everything.

I am trying to find out about my family in Scotland. My grandfather was David McCall and he left Scotland in the early 1900''s for Canada. Kingholm Quay was where his family is from. His father''s name was James McCall and his mother''s name was Jane McCall. He was a fisherman.

This Fascinates me as an amature historian [want to be]. I was doing genealogical indexing and found on the 1871 census the vessel, MATCHLESS, 555.278 out of Gorey Bay Harbour, Jersey. with a crew of 4 and the Masters wife. I wanted to know what sort of fishing this vessel was engaged in, so I looked up MATCHLESS 1871-1872 and found that the MATCHLESS had been lost near Hauxley, Northumberland [Coquet Island Light House and Rocks of Hauxley] on
18 Dec. 1872.
My inquirery was for the names of the crew members from the 1871 Census vs the 1872 Shipwreck.
I was very surprised to find that four(4) ships were lost that same night within the same area.
BECCLES
18th December 1872 Wrecked two miles north of Amble; crew lost.( Lloyd''s.)
OCEAN
18th December 1872 The Ocean, of Lynn has been wrecked near here (i.e Amble)( Lloyd''s.)
RUSSELL
18th December 1872 The Russell supposed of Poole, wrecked at Hauxley; crew lost ( Lloyd''s.)
MATCHLESS
18th December 1872 Wrecked at Hauxley; crew lost ( Lloyd''s.)
In looking at satelite images and photographs of the area one can visualize what a horrific night that must have been, if there was a storm?
I also found a list of 10 UKN persons washed ashore within the next two (2) weeks
I am still looking for the names of the crew members of the MATCHLESS when the voyage started prior to 12/18/1872 and what is it they were fishing for on that trip?
I have tried Lloyds but at 28 tonnes Matchless is insignificant and I have yet to find the record of the loss except that Lloyds apparently covered that loss.
