The ' John Vincent' under an earlier name belonged to my Uncle, she was an ex R.N. Steam Pinnace pre WW 2 which Uncle carried out a lot of work on alongside our boat on the Wet Slips in the late 1940/ early 1950 period, in Summer we would Convoy to Scarborough for the school holidays.
The last time I saw her was in late 1950 and when I saw her many, many years later in Hull Marina she had not been changed at all, Dark Blue Hull, Varnished Topside, her Owner at that time used to own 'Pembroke Puffin'.
The years seem to pass so quickly it could be at least 15 years ago when I saw her.
